Sympathetic a‐adrenergic control of large‐bore arterial vessels, arterioles and veins, and of capillary pressure and fluid exchange in whole‐organ cat skeletal muscle

Abstract: The sympathetic nervous control of the vascular bed of cat gastrocnemius muscle was studied with a new whole-organ technique which permits simultaneous, continuous and quantitative measurements of capillary pressure (Pc), capillary fluid exchange and resistance reactions in the whole vascular bed and in its three consecutive sections: large-bore arterial vessels (greater than 25 microns), arterioles (less than 25 microns) and veins. The results demonstrated a distinct neural control of all three consecutive va… Show more

“…Patients with MDD were moderately to severely depressed with a mean (SD) HAM-D score of 25 (4) and a mean (SD) BDI score of 29 (8). They also had high levels of both state (mean [SD] score, 57 [12]) and trait (mean [SD] score, 62 [7]) anxiety.…”

“…This response was also associated with a decrease in capillary pressure which seemed to be more pronounced per unit resistance increase than that to most other vasoconstrictors, e.g. neurally released noradrenaline (Maspers et al, 1990a). As indicated by the observed decrease in CFC, this response further involved a maintained constriction of the terminal arterioles/precapillary sphincters, and a consequent reduction of the size of the functional capillary surface area.…”

“…Differences in the adrenergic innervation density between the various compartments that compose the venous bed may justify these regional variations of response [6][7][8]. On the other hand, these heterogeneous responses may also be due to differences in the distribution of adrenoceptors.…”
