Abstract
A new method able to measure the concentration of oxygen in complex biological systems, including in vivo, has been developed using lowβfrequency EPR and newly characterized free radicals that are very sensitive to the concentration of oxygen. The free radicals (fusinite and lithium phthalocyanine) are very stable in tissues (for at least 150 days), apparently nontoxic, and can reflect oxygen concentrations that are less than the K~m~ of cytochrome oxidase (0.1 ΞΌ__M__ or lower). Their biological stability is indicated by the fact that repeated measurements with fusinite of the concentration of oxygen in skeletal muscle have been made in the same animal for more than 150 days without any change in sensitivity or signs of toxicity.
