Limiting pO2

Description

In the transition from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism, there is a limiting p_O2, p_lim, below which anaerobic energy flux is switched on and CR ratios become more exothermic than the oxycaloric equivalent. p_lim may be significanlty below the critical p_O2.

Abbreviation: p_lim
