Retinal hypoxia is a common pathological condition usually caused by ischemia that may result in alterations in oxidative energy metabolism. We report measurements of oxygen delivery by the retinal circulation (DO2_IR) and inner retinal oxygen metabolism (MO2_IR) under systemic normoxia and hypoxia in rat.
