TABLE 2.

Cumulative distribution of islets from three rats after simultaneous islet oxygenation (pimonidazole immunostaining) and blood flow measurements (microspheres)

Pimonidazole immunostaining
Negative Positive
Islets containing microspheres
 No 1,292 378
 Yes 48 2

The pimonidazole immunostaining was dependent on the simultaneous blood flow measurements (χ2 test, P < 0.05), suggesting that pimonidazole preferentially accumulates in islets with low blood perfusion.
