Oxygen Sensing in Tissues Gisela FragestellungenSince oxygen is mainly transported by diffusion within tissue, the oxygen pressure field reflects the local balance between oxygen supply and oxygen consumption and characterizes the state of oxygen supply. Despite large physiological varia tions (e. g. , hypo and hyperoxia, hypo and hypertension, change of energy de mand), this oxygen pressure field can remain remarkably constant, demonstrating that very effective mechanisms must exist that guarantee
