Figure 4

The arterio-tissue temperature difference for the parietal cortex (Δ Temperature) and the arterio-venous oxygen content difference (Δ Oxygen) in animals treated with either moderate hypoxia (n = 11) or severe asphyxia induced by cord occlusion (n = 9). The dashed line through the intercept shows the predicted relationship between Δ temperature and Δ oxygen assuming that 473 kJ are produced per mole of O2 consumed and that the specific heat of blood is 3.68 J g−1 °C−1.
