The appts. includes a device (22) for subjecting an organism to varying levels of at least one type of stress, and a device (21) for measuring the oxygen consumption of the organism at the varying levels of stress. A plotter (28) is provided to generate a pattern of variation in oxygen consumption as a function of variation in stress. The oxygen consumption measuring device pref. comprises an ammeter in series with an electrolytic oxygen generator (23). A device (19) may be provided for controlling the partial pressure of the oxygen generator, this device being included in a feedback circuit with a polarographic oxygen sensor (17) and a comparator (18). |
