Provides in situ Po2-VO2 data across metabolic rates; leaves open translation to human muscle oxygenation.
The sigmoidal shape of curves describing oxygen dependence of muscle respiration varies from basal to maximal workload, and the oxygen supply/consumption system can be modeled as an inverting transistor amplifier.
Golub et al. (2018) studied this question.
