The coupled conservation of mass equations for oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen are written down for a lung model consisting of two homogeneous alveolar compartments (with di!erent ventilation}perfusion ratios) and a shunt compartment. As inspired oxygen concentration and oxygen consumption are v

Abstract
CO~2~ excretion across the perfused trout gill was found to fall to levels approaching zero after 20β30 minutes perfusion with perfusates with oxygen tensions at atmospheric levels. When perfusate oxygen levels were lowered by bubbling with nitrogen, CO~2~ excretion rates remained stable at least 4β6 hours. The ability to maintain a viable perfused gill preparation with respect to CO~2~ excretion may also be directly applicable to related studies, e.g. gill ion regulation.

We investigate the e!ect of the width of ventilation}perfusion distributions on arterial blood oxygen content. We assume that the perfusion within the alveolar volume is a continuous function of ventilation}perfusion ratio, known as the continuous ventilation}perfusion distribution, and then write d
Previous work demonstrated that collagen deposition in the liver of rats fed a nutritionally deficient diet for 3 to 4 months was diminished markedly by 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin Ef treatment. In this study, rats were fed a high-fat diet or a high-fat diet deficient in lipotropem for 2 to 4 weeks
## Abstract The effect of stanniectomy on the net influx of calcium 45 across the gill membrane was investigated using an isolated individual gill perfusion preparation. Two weeks postβoperatively the gills from stanniectomized eels displayed a considerably higher net calcium uptake relative to the
