X-Message-Number: 24511 Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 08:46:50 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: for Doug Skrecky For Doug Skrecky: Is there some mistake here? Your discussion of tagatose deals with its CYTOprotective properties, not its CRYOprotective properties. It gives a nice summary of the ability of tagatose to protect against various poisons. Such an ability is fine and can often be useful. Its relation to CRYOprotection at least needs some explanation. As you no doubt already know, the injuries of freezing happen much more from mechanical disruption of the cells and their relations to one another than to any chemical poisoning of them. Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24511
