A novel mouse model of cutaneous radiation injury.

abstract：:The distribution of glucose and lactate within skin flaps was determined in full-thickness guinea pig skin (excluding the panniculus carnosus). The distal end of the flaps had a low glucose content (less than 50 percent of normal) but high lactate level (2 to 3 times normal) during the 3 days after flap elevation. Pro...
