Oxygen Pressure Histograms Calculated in a Block of Rat Heart Tissue

Chapter
Part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology book series (AEMB, volume 317)

Abstract

Measurements of oxygen pressure in tissue are usually presented in the form of oxygen histograms. In such histograms, measurements are grouped into classes of equal width and their frequency represented. An alternative view is presentation in cumulative histograms, adding the frequencies of all lower classes. Particularly for muscle tissue, including rat heart, very differing histograms were described, the lowest values being from cryophotometric measurements of myoglobin saturation (Honig and Gayeski, 1987).
