(A) Schematic of the experimental setup for oxygen consumption rate measurements. TMJ disc explants were cultured in a sealed water-jacketed metabolism chamber. (B) Typical record of dissolved oxygen concentration in the chamber over time. The experimental data were curve fit to Equation (3). (C) The oxygen consumption rate was plotted based on the Michaelis-Menten equation with determined parameters Vmax and Km.
