Oxygen Consumption of the Membranous Cochlea and Other Tissues in the Shaker-1 and Normal Mouse

Abstract

The oxygen consumption of the membranous cochlea, brain, liver, kidney and muscle of shaker-1 mouse and normal mouse (CBA J strain) was measured with the use of the Warburg respirometer.
The mean value of the oxygen consumption of the membranous cochlea of shaker-1 mouse was less than that of normal mouse.
As for the values of the oxygen consumption of other tissues, there was no significance difference between the two strains.
