Abstract: | The polarographic diffusion current of the O2 reduction was utilized to estimate the nature of O2 supply from O2 binding oxygen carriers. Perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion, hemoglobin (Hb) and erythrocyte were used as either artificial or natural oxygen carriers. The changes of O2 limiting current originated by the addition of an oxygen carrier into the electrolyte solution open or closed to the atmosphere under some restricted conditions were analyzed.It is concluded that the main rate-determining factor for O2 transport by PFC emulsion. Hb solution or erythrocyte suspension, may be attributed to the O2 diffusion inside the PFC particle, to the diffusion of O2 binding Hb in Hb solution, or to the diffusion of O2 binding Hb inside the erythrocyte, respectively. |
