Figure 3From: Assessment of tissue oxygen tension: comparison of dynamic fluorescence quenching and polarographic electrode techniqueData are expressed as means ± SEM from three animals. (A) Plot of skeletal muscle partial oxygen tension (PtO2) against time, showing clear reduction in signal during both ischemic (cross clamp) and hypoxic epochs. (B) PtO2 plotted by intervention. Significant differences were found between PtO2 values for each group and the baseline PtO2 value, and between each intervention group and the group immediately preceding it.Back to article page
