Consumption of Oxygen by Isolated Skate Retinal Photoreceptors

The oxygen consumption of retinal photoreceptors is investigated in conditions where a high degree of structural polarization and improved spatial resolution are present. Using self-referencing oxygen-selective electrodes, single cell inhomogeneities are observed in the photoreceptors' consumpt...

More Information
Summary:The oxygen consumption of retinal photoreceptors is investigated in conditions where a high degree of structural polarization and improved spatial resolution are present. Using self-referencing oxygen-selective electrodes, single cell inhomogeneities are observed in the photoreceptors' consumption of oxygen. This implies important differences in the oxygen concentration profile around the cells indicating the presence of similar profiles within.
