Abstract:
Experimental tumors submitted in vivo to hyperthermia, in the presence, or not, of lanthanum (La3+), have shown modifications in the concentration of extra- and intracellular cations. Sacrificed immediately after hyperthermia, only the group treated with La3+ presented ionic changes (lower magnesium and potassium). After 48 hours, in both cases calcium and sodium were increased while magnesium and potassium were decreased.
