Why the study?
Does oxygen breathing at 1 atm reduce blood flow in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in humans?
Does oxygen breathing at 1 atm reduce blood flow in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in humans?
Oxygen breathing at 1 atm reduces abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue perfusion by approximately 25% compared to breathing air.
May affect interpretation of adipose perfusion measurements; leaves open clinical relevance pending larger studies.
The effect of oxygen breathing at 1 atm. on the blood flow of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in man was investigated by means of the 133Xe washout method. Adipose tissue perfusion was about 25 % lower during oxygen breathing than when breathing air. This was the case whether the breathing medium was changed from air to oxygen or from oxygen to air.
