Abstract

In mammals, energy metabolism of active tissues requires permanent availability of oxygen. Because cessation of O 2 supply results in loss of organ function within seconds or minutes, continual feed of adequate amounts of O 2 to tissue is the most vital task for living organisms. For many years, it therefore has been one of the greatest challenges to physiologists to understand the mechanisms provided by nature to satisfy this need for oxygen.
