Tissue Oxygen Utilization

This is a collection of essays on the mechanisms that regulate the transport and utilization of oxygen in health and disease. The chapters have been written by researchers in the areas of biochemistry, cellular and organ physiology, intensive care medicine and surgery. The book includes the latest therapeutic strategies on how to treat hypoxia and alterations in oxygen transport during sepsis. One contributor discusses the integration of basic biochemical and bioenergetic control analysis with physiological and clinical studies of altered oxygen transport.
