Imaging of oxygen transfer among microvessels of rat cremaster muscle.
BACKGROUND The proximity of capillaries, arterioles, and venules provides complex spatial relationships that lead to oxygen transfer among microvessels. Although a conceptual image of complex oxygen transfer among microvessels has been hypothesized, in vivo mapping of oxygen saturation (SO2) levels in microvessels had never been performed. METHODS AND RESULTS The oxygen profile of the arterio...
متن کاملInteraction between nitric oxide and prostanoids in arterioles of rat cremaster muscle in vivo.
We studied in vivo interactions of nitric oxide (NO), oxidative stress, and prostanoids derived from the cyclooxygenase pathway in the arterioles studied by intravital microscopy in peripheral muscle. Topical administration of NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor Nomega-nitro-l-arginine (l-NNA) or cyclooxygenase inhibitor mefenamic acid (MA) alone leads to vasoconstriction. We found that l-NNA after MA ...
متن کاملAutoregulation of blood flow within individual arterioles in the rat cremaster muscle.
Autoregulatory responses to alterations in arterial or venous perfusion pressure were determined for individual arterioles within the rat cremaster muscle. The cremaster muscle of pentobarbital anesthetized rats (50 mg/kg, ip) was surgically exposed and maintained in a controlled tissue bath for visualization by in vitro television microscopy. Cremaster bath PO2 was controlled at either a high ...
متن کاملDifferential structural adaptation to haemodynamics along single rat cremaster arterioles.
We tested the hypothesis that under physiological conditions, arterioles match their diameter to the level of shear stress. Haemodynamic and anatomical data were obtained in segments of the first-order arteriole of the rat cremaster muscle. Along this segment of ~10 mm in length, local blood pressure decreased from 68 +/- 4 mmHg upstream to 54 +/- 3 mmHg downstream (n = 5). Pulse pressure decre...
متن کاملEffect of acute hypoxia on microcirculatory and tissue oxygen levels in rat cremaster muscle.
Repeated exposure to brief periods of hypoxia leads to pathophysiological changes in experimental animals similar to those seen in sleep apnea. To determine the effects of such exposure on oxygen levels in vivo, we used an optical method to measure PO2 in microcirculatory vessels and tissue of the rat cremaster muscle during a 1-min step reduction of inspired oxygen fraction from 0.21 to 0.07. ...
