Mouse no. | H2 range (μM) | Mean ± SD | No. of sites measureda |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 43-63 | 54 ± 9 | 10 |
2 | 29-89 | 53 ± 18 | 12 |

The sites measured included all lobes of the liver, and measurement was accomplished by insertion of a 50-μm H2 sensing probe (16) into live (but anesthetized) mice. The mice were female strain C57BL (Jackson Labs, Bar Harbor, Maine) and were anesthetized with halothane.
