Abstract:The effects of brief ischemia (5, 15, 30, and 60 s duration; Isch) on interstitial PO2 (PISFO2), arteriolar PO2 (PaO2), blood flow (Q) and O2 consumption (VO2) during the recovery period was observed in exteriorized spinotrapezius muscles of 29 male Sprague‐Dawley rats (284 ± 20 g) for intravital microscopy. Phosphorescence quenching microscopy was used to obtain PISFO2, PaO2 and VO2. Arteriolar blood flow was calculated from arteriolar diameter and centerline RBC velocity obtained from an Optical Doppler Velo… 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.
