Depth-dependent flow and pressure characteristics in cortical microvascular networks
A better knowledge of the flow and pressure distribution in realistic microvascular networks is needed for improving our understanding of neurovascular coupling mechanisms and the related measurement techniques. Here, numerical simulations with discrete tracking of red blood cells (RBCs) are performed in three realistic microvascular networks from the mouse cerebral cortex. Our analysis is base...
متن کاملPressure-dependent heterogeneity of renal cortical blood flow in dogs.
We determined the effect of perfusion pressure on the distribution of blood flow within the renal cortex of the anesthetized dog. Total blood flow to the denervated kidney was measured by an electromagnetic flowmeter and perfusion pressure was manipulated over the autoregulatory range (136 to 81 mm Hg) by an aortic clamp. Distribution of cortical blood flow was determined by the radioactive mic...
متن کاملMicrovascular pressure, flow, and resistance in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Microvascular resistance (MVR), determined as the ratio of the second-order arteriolar blood pressure (servo-null method) to blood flow (dual-slit), was assessed in the cremaster muscle preparation of 7- to 8-week-old normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The MVR was used as an index of resistance during 1) control conditions; 2) superfusion of graded c...
متن کاملAge-dependent renal cortical microvascular loss in female mice.
Renal function and blood flow decline during aging in association with a decrease in the number of intrarenal vessels, but if loss of estrogen contributes to this microvascular, rarefaction remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that the decreased renal microvascular density with age is aggravated by loss of estrogen. Six-month-old female C57/BL6 mice underwent ovariectomy (Ovx) or sham oper...
متن کاملBlood flow in microvascular networks. Experiments and simulation.
A theoretical model has been developed to simulate blood flow through large microcirculatory networks. The model takes into account the dependence of apparent viscosity of blood on vessel diameter and hematocrit (the Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect), the reduction of intravascular hematocrit relative to the inflow hematocrit of a vessel (the Fahraeus effect), and the disproportionate distribution of ...
