Working rate of oxygen consumption

Working rate of oxygen consumption %. It is related to arterial blood oxygenation and hemoglobin ability to bind oxygen and oxygenate tissues. To a great extent, this process is affected by thyroxin. Thyroxin splits oxidation and phosphorylation processes, reduces high energy phosphate bond formation and increases development of heat, which dissipates in the environment. Thus, oxygen consumption per kg will change. This dimension is attributed to the triiodothyronine activity. We can arrange organs, in descending order, in respect of triiodothyronine influence on the oxygen consumption as follows: heart, gastric mucosa, liver, smooth muscles, kidneys, and diaphragm, i.e. with triiodothyronine activity increasing, activity of the oxygen consumption by heart and other inner organs increases as well. If oxygen consumption by heart increases, oxygen consumption by gastric mucosa, liver and diaphragm changes (decreases) as well. This results in the deficit of used power for life support.
