Effects of X-rays on cell membranes. I. Changes of membrane potential of L-cells. 1978

H Baisch, and H Bluhm

Changes in the membrane potential of cultured L-929lcells were investigated after irradiation with doses ranging from 5-200 Gy. Immediately after irradiation a depolarisation is observed that is followed by a damped oscillation of the membrane potential and finally by a rapprochement to the control value. Whereas the magnitude of depolarisation does not show any dependence on irradiation dose, the time required to reach the control value again increases with increasing dose. Up to 10 Gy, the period of the first half-oscillation rises rapidly to about 12 min, at higher doses a slow linear increase follows reaching a value of 23 min after 200 Gy.

D008564	Membrane Potentials	The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D014965	X-Rays	Penetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted when the inner orbital electrons of an atom are excited and release radiant energy. X-ray wavelengths range from 1 pm to 10 nm. Hard X-rays are the higher energy, shorter wavelength X-rays. Soft x-rays or Grenz rays are less energetic and longer in wavelength. The short wavelength end of the X-ray spectrum overlaps the GAMMA RAYS wavelength range. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
