In grand rounds you mentioned a finding regarding low DLCO with concurrent low max VO2 in an athlete. I remembered that for years. We talked about it while a CPET was going on in your lab. <br />I'm now at UCSF, attending in the PD. If you're ever in San Francisco, give my office a call. <br />Lor Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524881400632979653.post-32829322705433956652013-10-10T17:44:43.052-07:002013-10-10T17:44:43.052-07:00Mike, I skipped the video or whatever was there be...Mike, I skipped the video or whatever was there because of my internet connection and went straight to article the page referenced.

Thanks! Anytime you feel up to it, I'll be happy to read what you have to say about Higgs boson.<br /><br />As for the test, I'll try the one on the alveoli. I won't even consider any test on the boson. :)David Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524881400632979653.post-66494302418241940642013-10-09T15:27:55.241-07:002013-10-09T15:27:55.241-07:00Thanks Martha.

These are lined with capillaries, with a thin membrane separating them. The membrane is permeable, that is to say gas can pass across it. Since gas moves from areas of high concentration to low, oxygen will diffuse to the capillaries where it reacts chemically with hemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin, thence the oxygen carrying hemoglovin is taken to the muscle where the Krebs cycle occurs. <br /><br />Test at 11.
