O2 Supply Conditions in Tumor Tissue in Vivo

  • Chapter
Oxygen Transport to Tissue — II

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 75))

Abstract

During the last few years O2 supply of tumor tissue has very carefully been investigated using GULLINO’ s model of a “tissue isolated” implantation tumor (GULLINO and GRANTHAM, 1961; GÜNTHER et al., 1972; VAUPEL et al., 1971; VAUPEL, 1974). We analysed the O2 supply for a DS-Carcinosarcoma in the rat kidney by two methods:

  1. 1.

    direct measurement of O2 pressures in the tissue by means of gold micro-electrodes,

  2. 2.

    PO2 calculation according to diffusion laws considerring the experimentally determined parameters in the arterial and venous blood.
