TABLE 3.
The average baseline and maximum arteriolar diameter for experiments testing the effect of gap junction uncoupler HALO on the conducted response elicited by muscle contraction. ‘n’ represents the number of 4A arterioles observed.
| Figure | Protocol | Baseline diameter (μm) | Maximum diameter (μm) | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2C | 6CPM(20 Hz) | 6.9 ± 2.4 | 16.0 ± 2.9 (n = 8*) | 9 |
| 2C | 6CPM(20 Hz) + HALO | 8.8 ± 3.5 | ||
| 3C | 60CPM(20 Hz) | 7.6 ± 3.2 | ||
| 3C | 60CPM(20 Hz) + HALO | 8.9 ± 4.7 | ||
| 4C | 4 Hz(15CPM) | 8.1 ± 1.9 | 17.7 ± 4.3 | 9 |
| 4C | 4 Hz(15CPM) + HALO | 7.9 ± 2.1 | ||
| 5C | 40 Hz(15CPM) | 7.0 ± 2.4 | ||
| 5C | 40 Hz(15CPM) + HALO | 8.3 ± 2.0 |
Note: Values are mean ± SD.
*
“n” values for maximal diameter differ from the “n” values for contraction data as the maximal diameter in one experiment was unable to be gathered.
