title: [In situ evaluation of tissue metabolism by laser fluorimetry].
abstract: Laser fluorimetry is a new technique which provides continuous information on tissue metabolism in situ and without destruction. For the moment, it is mainly applied to the study of changes in redox gradients in various organs, including the heart, brain, liver, kidney and skeletal muscle, in cases with imbalance between oxygen supply and oxygen consumption. Other metabolisms, such as that of the crystalline lens with incipient cataract, can also be investigated by this technique.
