Effects of adrenoreceptor activation and aging on skeletal muscle arterioles at rest and during rapid onset vasodilation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) induces arteriolar vasoconstriction via [alpha]-adrenoreceptor ([alpha]AR) activation. Whether [alpha]AR activation affects the spread of rapid onset vasodilation (ROV) in contracting muscle ...
The control of blood flow in skeletal muscle arterioles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Skeletal muscle arterioles dilate in response to application of acetylcholine (ACh), eliciting a conducted vasodilation (CVD) that travels along unbranched segments without decrement. CVD is known to entail cell-to-cell ...
Attenuation of rapid onset vasodilation with advanced age : roles of adrenergic and endothelial signaling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Rapid onset vasodilation (ROV) occurs immediately in response to skeletal muscle contraction and initiates a prompt increase in blood flow and oxygen delivery that facilitate the transition to exercise. Muscle blood flow ...
Functional recovery of the microcirculation during skeletal muscle regeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Skeletal muscle has a remarkable capacity to regenerate following injury, and although muscle regeneration has been studied extensively, little is known about the recovery of the skeletal muscle microcirculation during ...
