CO < sub > 2 < /sub > Permeability of Rat Hepatocytes and Relation of CO < sub > 2 < /sub > Permeability to CO < sub > 2 < /sub > Production

Conclusion: Rat hepatocytes with their intermediate rate of oxygen consumption also possess an intermediate CO2 permeability. From pairs of data for five types of cells/organelles, we find an excellent positive linear correlation between PCO2 and metabolic rate, suggesting an adaptation of PCO2 to the rate of O2 consumption.Cell Physiol Biochem 2018;46:1198 –1208
