Abstract
The effect of oxygen breathing at 1 atm. on the blood flow of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in man was investigated by means of the 133Xe washout method. Adipose tissue perfusion was about 25 % lower during oxygen breathing than when breathing air. This was the case whether the breathing medium was changed from air to oxygen or from oxygen to air.
