Oxygen consumption in rat skeletal muscle at various rates of oxygen delivery.
Resting oxygen consumption of the vascularly isolated gracilis anticus muscle of the rat perfused by natural circulation via the femoral artery with diluted or undiluted blood depends on oxygen delivery (the product of flow rate and arterial oxygen concentration - DO2) only when DO2 falls below 16 microliters/min/g.
