Abstract
Previous experiments using cross-linked tetrameric hemoglobins (XLHb) to perfuse isolated rat kidneys showed that high-O2-affinity XLHb improved proximal tubule function more effectively than low-O2-affinity XLHb. To determine how function was improved, proximal tubule fragments were incubated with albumin, Hb34 [half-saturation point (P50) 34 Torr], or Hb13 (P50 13 Torr) with Po2 values ranging from 22 to 147 Torr. ATP content reflected O2 delivery to mitochondria. Both XLHb increased ATP, Hb34 with Po2 >or= 47 Torr and Hb13 with Po2 <or= 47 Torr. XLHb increased Na-K-ATPase activity (86Rb uptake) in similar Po2-dependent patterns. O2 consumption (Qo2) was measured in a closed, well-stirred chamber. Ouabain- and oligomycin-inhibited Qo2, reflecting Na-K-ATPase activity and oxidative phosphorylation, respectively, mirrored the Po2-dependent patterns of ATP and 86Rb uptake. As Po2 fell below the midpoint of XLHb desaturation, Qo2, uncoupled from oxidative phosphorylation, transiently increased. The increase was most pronounced with Hb34. Nitro-l-arginine methyl ester had no effect on Qo2. Inhibitors of NAD(P)H oxidases and diamine oxidase partially prevented the Qo2 surge with Hb34. In conclusion, facilitated diffusion accounts for Po2-dependent XLHb effects on ATP content and Na-K-ATPase and for Hb13's effectiveness in hypoxic perfused kidneys. NO scavenging was not a factor. O2-binding characteristics influence XLHb effects on mitochondria and O2-sensitive enzymes such as oxidases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
