Figure 3. Effects of removal of vestibular inputs on baseline femoral and brachial blood flow (A) and vascular resistance (B) measured when the animals were in the prone position in a darkened laboratory.

Baseline blood flow determined in the first week after the removal of vestibular inputs (Post-W1) and in subsequent weeks (Post-W2–4) are indicated separately. Significant differences in blood flow measured after the removal of vestibular inputs from that recorded prior to lesion are indicated by a star on the relevant bar. Error bars indicate one s.e.m.
