Electrochemical Voltammetric Features in Living Tissues of MICE

Abstract

The electrochemical voltammetric responses of living liver, spleen, kidney, heart, brain, skin, and S180 tumor tissues of C5710 mice were studied by using a complex three-electrode system. A clamp graphite electrode was used as the work electrode, a platinum wire as the counter electrode, and an Ag-AgC1 wire as the reference electrode. Living tissues of mice showed distinguishable volammetric features depending on tissue types and state of health of mice. This study showed that the voltammetric features of living tissues may be used as a possible index to discriminate the types or the malignant states of tissues; such an index may also indicate the tumor growth stages and the related immune response.
