Samples of Walker 256 carcinoma grown in muscles of Sprague-Dawley rats were studied at low temperatures before and after lyophilization. The effects of lyophilization on the ESR spectra were different for tumours and normal muscle. Prior to lyophilization of a tumour sample, there was a decrease in free radicals, while after the lyophilization, there was an "increase". The "increase" was due to the lyophilized tumour having a narrower line, producing a greater peak-peak height measurement than in muscle, without an increase in the total number of spins. Exposure of lyophilized samples to air produced an increase in the intensity of the spectra and a change in line shape; also these effects differed for tumour and muscle. Mn++ levels were lower in tumour than in muscle, a difference eliminated by lyophilization. Poor growth conditions in tumours increased the occurrence of ESR spectra due to NO complexes with both heme and non-heme iron proteins. These results may help to resolve the principal controversies about experimental findings in ESR of tumours. At least part of the signals seen after lyophilization do not reflect free radicals in vivo. The signals after lyophilization reflect biochemical differences between tumour and muscle; spectroscopic data indicate that it is feasible to determine the molecular basis of these differences.
