[Myoglobin content and oxygen tension in the muscle tissues in allergic reactions].

The influence of sensitization to horse serum, brucelia and BCG, and the allergic reactions induced by these antigens, on the oxygen tension and myoglobin content in the muscle tissues was studied. The lowering of myoglobin concentration associated with higher sensitivity formation was noted only in sensitization to living microbial strains. The allergic responses of immediate and delayed types provoked the decrease in myoglobin content both in the heart and skeletal muscles. The tension of oxygen in the skeletal muscle was reduced.
