At any location in a respiring tissue, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) is influenced by the local oxygen consumption rate. Consumption rates in vascular tumor tissues have previously been estimated for macroscopic regions. Using oxygen electrodes, we measured PO2 profiles across microregions (87 microns to 286 microns wide) of tumors (R3230AC mammary adenocarcinoma) in a rat dorsal skin flap preparation and mapped adjacent microvessels. By comparing measured PO2 values with theoretical simulations, we deduced local consumption rates. Results for six profiles ranged from 0.83 to 2.22 cm3 O2/100 g/min. The mean (+/- SD) was 1.52 +/- 0.51 cm3 O2/100 g/min. This technique permits investigation of variations in consumption at a microregional level.

The food system significantly affects the environment through land use, emissions from livestock, deforestation, and food waste. Diet sustainability considers the environmental effects of food production, distribution, and consumption. Animal products emit more greenhouse gases than plant-based foods, prompting a shift towards plant-focused diets for reduced emissions.

Continuous consumption combined with incomplete removal during wastewater treatment means residues of psychotropic drugs (PDs), including antidepressants, antipsychotics, antiepileptics and illicit drugs, are continuously entering the aquatic environment, where they have the potential to affect non-target organisms. Photochemical transformation is an important aspect to consider when evaluating the environmental persistence of PDs, particularly for those present in sunlit surface waters. This review summarizes the latest research on the photodegradation of typical PDs under environmentally relevant conditions.
