Abstract

The importance of hemoglobin-oxygen affinity (HOA) in affecting skeletal muscle oxygen consumption (VO2) was reevaluated using an isolated canine gracilis muscle. HOA of the blood [normal O2 half-saturation pressure of hemoglobin (P50) = 30 Torr] was increased by refrigerated storage (P50 = 22 Torr)...
