Abstract
The membrane environments in normal and tumor rat tissue and the effect of hyperthermia thereon are studied with 19F-NMR spectroscopy of the general anesthetic halothane. Normal and tumor cell types are clearly differentiated by the halothane resonance. A hydrophobic environment prominent in tumor tissue is more sensitive to heat treatment than the corresponding environments of normal cells. Studies of extracted lipids suggest that this may be due in part to the considerable difference in lipid temperature response which exists between normal and kidney tumor cells.
