pH Heterogeneity in Skeletal Muscle Extracellular Fluid

Abstract: Oxygen and carbon dioxide are known to be heterogeneously distributed in tissues. Extracellular skeletal muscle tissue pH (pHt) also exhibits a spatial variability in vitro, but this has not been examined in vivo. pHt distributions in resting skeletal muscle and the effect of the dispersion of pHt on ischemia and normoxic hypercarbia was therefore studied in an animal model with a multichannel pH microelectrode. Under resting conditions and spontaneous breathing, local pHt… Show more

“…However, this solution also did not exclude oxygen ( 9). Furthermore, in tissues during ischaemic conditions we found a normal P pH sensitivity, which suggests that the electrode corrosion process operates at extremely low oxygen tensions ( 8). This is probably a minor problem as, from a practical and clinical point of view, it is extremely unusual for oxygen to be totally absent.…”
