Abstract

Our purpose was to determine whether physiological doses of interstitial adenosine (ADO) or nitric oxide (NP) induced coordinated flow patterns in arteriolar networks. Arteriolar diameter and red cell (RBC) flux were obtained in the check pouch of anesthetized (pentobarbital 70mg/kg) hamster (N = 18). Observations were made along an arteriolar network (feed and 4 branches) during baseline and with 10-9 - 10-5 M ADO or NP (5 min); controls showed steady changes with 5-20 min exposure. In general, changes within the network never predicted the resulting flow patterns, yet at low doses, flux and WSS were coordinated.
