I believe the answer is:

venous

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in de-oxygenated channels?' is the definition.
(in veins, vessels with de-oxygenated blood)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for venous that I've seen before include "Of blood tubes" , "like a carrier of blood" , "through certain tubes" , "Performing the function of veins" , "Relating to blood vessels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
