Non-invasive measurement of solute permeability in cerebral microvessels of the rat.
To quantify the solute permeability of rat cerebral microvessels, we measured the apparent permeability (P) of pial microvessels to various sized solutes. The pial microcirculation was observed by a high numerical aperture objective lens through a section of the frontoparietal bone thinned with a micro-grinder (a revised method from Easton and Fraser, 1994, J Physiol. 475:147-157, 1994). Sodium...
متن کاملErythrocyte-derived sphingosine-1-phosphate stabilizes basal hydraulic conductivity and solute permeability in rat microvessels.
Exogenous sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a lipid mediator in blood, attenuates acute microvascular permeability increases via receptor S1P1 to stabilize the endothelium. To evaluate the contribution of erythrocytes as an endogenous source of S1P to the regulation of basal permeability, we measured permeability coefficients in intact individually perfused venular microvessels of rat mesentery. T...
متن کاملAcute VEGF effect on solute permeability of mammalian microvessels in vivo.
To investigate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on solute permeability of mammalian microvessels, we measured the apparent permeability (P) of various-sized solutes on the postcapillary venules of rat mesentery in vivo. Exposure to 1 nM VEGF transiently increased P from a mean of 1.4 (+/-0.11 SE, n = 17) to a peak of 2.8 (+/-0.28 SE) x 10(-5) cm/s, a 2.4-fold increase for...
متن کاملExperimental and theoretical studies of oxygen gradients in rat pial microvessels.
Using modified oxygen needle microelectrodes and intravital videomicroscopy, measurements were made of tissue oxygen tension (PO(2)) profiles near cortical arterioles and transmural PO(2) gradients in the pial arterioles of the rat. Under control conditions, the transmural PO(2) gradient averaged 1.17+/-0.06 mm Hg/microm (mean+/-s.e., n=40). Local arteriolar dilation resulted in a marked decrea...
