O2 uptake by the tissues of cerebral hemispheres, liver and femoral muscle of male rats was determined by the manometric method in the atmosphere of an air and hypoxic gas mixture (2.1% of O2). O2 uptake by the tissues of cerebral hemispheres and liver in the air atmosphere is lower in high-resistant animals than in the low-resistant ones, and under conditions of the hypoxic gas mixture it is somewhat higher. These differences are possibly significant in the mechanism of the animals' different stability to the effect of acute hypoxia.
