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 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. ...
متن کاملMechanisms of cell injury in rat mesentery and cremaster muscle.
The events responsible for cell injury after a tissue stimulation are only incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to examine mechanisms of cell injury in two tissues, rat mesentery and cremaster muscle, after tissue stimulation with N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) and platelet-activating factor (PAF). The response was studied in the same animal in random order usin...
متن کاملEffects of vasodilation on plasma distribution in SHR cremaster muscle microvessels.
Alterations in the structure, number, reactivity, contractility and sensitivity of resistance vessels of hypertensive animals have been reported. If the etiology of hypertension is due to one or a combination of these factors, it could logically be expected that the distribution of blood flow from the arterial to venous circulation through parallel microcirculatory circuits could be affected. T...
متن کاملBalance of S1P1 and S1P2 signaling regulates peripheral microvascular permeability in rat cremaster muscle vasculature.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) regulates various molecular and cellular events in cultured endothelial cells, such as cytoskeletal restructuring, cell-extracellular matrix interactions, and intercellular junction interactions. We utilized the venular leakage model of the cremaster muscle vascular bed in Sprague-Dawley rats to investigate the role of S1P signaling in regulation of microvascular p...
