May necessitate revising tissue oxygen transport models; leaves open validation in human microcirculation.
Popel et al. (1989) studied this question. Oxygen permeability assumption was evaluated on Oxygen flux and permeability. Analysis of oxygen flux from arterioles in the hamster cheek pouch retractor muscle indicated that permeability to oxygen of blood-perfused tissue may be an order of magnitude higher than assumed.
