- Blood samples were collected from the indicated vascular beds and from 24 h-conditioned culture supernatants. Glass capillary tubes were used to avoid equilibration of the samples with atmospheric oxygen. The total oxygen content in the samples is given in kilo Pascals (kPa). The results are representative data obtained from three independent measurements.
