Abstract：
:We present a theoretical model for steady-state radial and longitudinal oxygen transport in arterioles containing flowing blood (plasma and red blood cells) and surrounded by living tissue. This model combines a detailed description of convective and diffusive oxygen transport inside the arteriole with a novel boundary condition at the arteriolar lumen surface, and the results provide new mass transfer coefficients for computing arteriolar O(2) losses based on far-field tissue O(2) tension and in the presence of spatially distributed capillaries. A numerical procedure is introduced for calculating O(2) diffusion from an arteriole to a continuous capillary-tissue matrix immediately adjacent to the arteriole. The tissue O(2) consumption rate is assumed to be constant and capillaries act as either O(2) sources or sinks depending on the local O(2) environment. Using the model, O(2) saturation (SO(2)) and tension (PO(2)) are determined for the intraluminal region of the arteriole, as well as for the extraluminal region in the neighbouring tissue. Our model gives results that are consistent with available experimental data and previous intraluminal transport models, including appreciable radial decreases in intraluminal PO(2) for all vessel diameters considered (12-100 μm) and slower longitudinal decreases in PO(2) for larger vessels than for smaller ones, and predicts substantially less diffusion of O(2) from arteriolar blood than do models with PO(2) specified at the edge of the lumen. The dependence of the new mass transfer coefficients on vessel diameter, SO(2) and far-field PO(2) is calculated allowing their application to a wide range of physiological situations. This novel arteriolar O(2) transport model will be a vital component of future integrated models of microvascular regulation of O(2) supply to capillary beds and the tissue regions they support.
