Abstract
Summary and conclusions The in vitro oxygen consumption of liver and heart tissue was investigated at 38°, 30°, and at 20° C. Tissue was weighed in aliquots and suspended in various fluids. The basic conclusion is that none of the agents interfered with diffusion of oxygen or absorption of oxygen into the cell. Oxygen consumption of liver tissue at 30° C. and at 20° C. was in direct proportion to the temperature and correlates very well with other experiments demonstrating the same percentage of reduction in oxygen consumption in vivo. Primary oxygen consumption was not reduced in heart tissue below 30° C.
