Cold exposition within 3 days at 2-4 degrees caused destabilization of rat erythrocyte membranes. Content of blood serum hemoglobin, total peroxidase activity and the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity were increased. Resistance of the animals against high oxygen pressure was reduced. Administration of arginine within 3 days into the animals led to stabilization of membranes and to elevation of rat resistance towards high oxygen pressure.
