Abstract:Delayed consequences of acute hypoxia were studied in 60-day-old rat pups. The animals were exposed to acute hypobaric hypoxia on day 10 of embryogenesis. The offspring of intact females served as the control. Reactivity of mesenteric lymphatic vessels to norepinephrine was studied by vital microscopy. The frequency and duration of lymphatic vessel contractions in males significantly increased compared to the control. In females the duration of norepinephrine-induced lymphatic vessel contractions increased, wh… Show more
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.
