				O2 Consumption Rate
	Po2 In, mmHg	Po2 Out, mmHg	O2 Content, mmol O2/l medium	μmol O2·min−1g wet wt−1	μmol O2/beat
KH	733 ± 13	69 ± 23	0.95 ± 0.02	5.08 ± 0.30	0.24 ± 0.01
PFC	672 ± 15*	297 ± 40*	3.15 ± 0.07*	6.74 ± 0.69*	0.28 ± 0.03

Values are means ± SE; n = 6. KH, Krebs-Henseleit; PFC, perfluorocarbon.
