Skeletal Contractile Power and Perfusion During Collateral Development in the Rat
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among the factors that might influence collateral arterial growth after arterial occlusion, the capacity to deliver blood flow in relation to metabolic need and work performance are obvious candidates. In this study in rats after superficial femoral artery ligation, we assessed collateral arterial growth (by arteriography), basal and peak limb blood flow during acetylcholine-induced vasodilation (by electronic drop counting), pressure-flow relations, and contractile power of the gastrocnemius muscle (force transduction during sciatic nerve stimulation) at intervals over 3 months after superficial femoral artery ligation. Basal and peak blood flow and muscle contractile power were clearly reduced 1 week after ligation but had returned to normal by 3 weeks. Major collateral arterial growth, however, progressed between 3 weeks and 3 months. The limb perfusion pressure-blood flow relation was still altered at 3 weeks, with blunting of the normal autoregulation, and became more normal by 3 months after superficial femoral artery ligation. Collateral arterial growth continues after blood flow adequate to maintain work performance has been restored and may reflect a response to more subtle abnormalities involving distal

Temporal dependence of coronary collateral development.
OBJECTIVE Previous evidence suggests that episodes of myocardial ischemia of sufficient duration and intensity are required to produce coronary collateral development during repetitive coronary occlusion. This investigation tested the hypothesis that coronary collateral development is also temporal-dependent. METHODS Chronically instrumented dogs (n = 16) were subjected to brief (2 min) left ...

متن کاملVascular Delay, Angiogenesis and Cardiomyoplasty
Vascular delay is a surgical technique that renders a skin flap sub-lethally ischemic and produces significant alterations in the characteristics of the tissue perfusion. The enhanced perfusion is associated with decreased distal flap necrosis and increased viability. Applying this technique to skeletal muscle flaps produces similar vascular changes and results in enhanced perfusion and contrac...
متن کاملValproic Acid-Induced Skeletal Defects and Spina Bifida in Rat Fetuses
Purpose: Among antiepileptic drugs, valproic acid (VA) is a well known teratogenic agent. We previously reported that maternal (VA) administration of VA during critical periods of rat pregnancy can produce very rare CNS defect, syringomyelia. The purpose of the present study was whether VA can affect other organs, based on this finding, we studied the teratogenic effects of it on rat developing...
