Measured tissue PO₂ distributions for all groups. When the L35-PMNP were localized to the tissue area of the window model using a magnetic field, the median PO₂ increased from 27.2 mmHg compared to 25.9 mmHg in the untreated animals, whereas in the absence of the magnetic field the median PO₂ dropped to 23.4 mmHg. In normal condition, it is difficult to modify tissue PO₂, since tissue PO₂ is the result of the balance between O₂ delivery and O₂ consumption by the tissue.
