“…This feature permits probes to be inserted virtually in any tissue with minimum disturbances to its physiology and normal parenchymal structure. Several authors have reported its utilization in subcutis Hagstrom et al, 1987;Kaptein et al, 1998;, muscle (Deboer et al, 1991;Deguchi et al, 1991;Hallstrom et al, 1989;Miller et al, 2011;Mimura et al, 1996;Olausson et al, 2013;Stallknecht et al, 1999), liver (Bjornsson et al, 2012;Lunte, 1995, 1996;Haugaa et al, 2010;Takahashi et al, 1996;Vanbelle et al, 1995), brain (Bjerring et al, 2011a, b;Bossers et al, 2013;Li et al, 2012;Notkina et al, 2012;Sato et al, 2011), adipose tissue (Arner and Bolinder, 1991;Jansson et al, 1995;Kopterides et al, 2012;Lourido et al, 2002;Song and Lunte, 1999;Summers et al, 1998), and recently in the lamellar tissue of the horse hoof (Nourian et al, 2010). Also tissue microdialysis can be used for continuous monitoring for time periods ranging from a few hours to several weeks .…”
