The peculiarities of microcirculation and vasomotor function of the endothelium and their relationship with resistance to hypoxia in the elderly with impaired glucose tolerance were studied. It has been shown that in the elderly with impaired glucose tolerance, skin microcirculation and vasomotor function of the endothelium are reduced when breathing air. An inverse correlation has been established between disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, the state of skin microcirculation and vasomotor function of the endothelium. The connection between the shift of blood saturation under hypoxic load and indicators of microcirculation and vasomotor function of the endothelium in the elderly with both impaired and preserved glucose tolerance. But in the elderly with impaired glucose tolerance, the strength of these connections is greater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
