The diffusion barrier between ambient atmosphere and erythrocyte hemoglobin of the gas exchanger is conveniently divided into two parts by the air cell formed at the blunt end; i.e., outer barrier (mainly the porous eggshell) and inner barrier (the chorioallantoic membrane). In contrast to the alveolar-arterial Po₂ difference in the lungs, the difference of Po₂, between the air cell and the arterialized blood in the allantoic vein (ΔPAo₂ ・Pao₂) is large in chick embryos. In the present study was analyzed the ΔPAo₂ ・Pao₂ with respect to widely altered diffusive conductance of the shell, diffusing capacity of the chorioallantoic membrane and physiological shunt in the allantoic circulation (allantoic shunt). The shell diffusive conductance (Go₂) was altered from the beginning of incubation, and the O₂ consumption (Mo₂) was measured on day 16. The Mo₂ increased hyperbolically with increasing Go₂, reached maximum at control values of Go₂ and decreased with further increasing Go₂. From Go₂ and Mo₂, the air cell Po₂ was determined. The ΔPAo₂ ・Pao₂, was increased in eggs with augmented Go₂ (from about 50 torr in control eggs to 70 torr in conductance-increased eggs). The diffusing capacity and allantoic shunt which produce a given ΔPAo₂ ・Pao₂ were estimated employing a microcomputer performing the Bohr integration procedure so that a calculated Pao₂, agreed with measured Pao₂. The allantoic shunt is not more than 20%; 10% is likely. The diffusing capacity becomes maximum in intact (control) eggs and is decreased at both lowered and augmented Go₂. In control eggs, the resistance of the inner barrier to O₂ diffusion is about 1.7-fold that of the shell which agrees with the previous reports.}, pages = {31--42}, title = {Analysis of the air cell gas-arterialized blood Po₂difference of chicken eggs with respect to widely altered shell conductance}, volume = {37}, year = {1987}, yomi = {ワカヤマ, ヒロシ and コモロ, タカシ and スズキ, ユキノリ and タザワ, ヒロシ} }
