Baseline and maximal arteriolar diameters for in situ experiments
Baseline Diameter* (μm) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Control | Experimental | Maximum diameter (μm) | n | |
DAP | 22.0 ± 2.4 | 19.9 ± 2.7 | 41.8 ± 3.1 | 12 |
BaCl2 | 21.7 ± 1.8 | 15.3 ± 1.5† | 40.1 ± 2.3 | 14 |
Ouabain | 20.8 ± 1.8 | 17.2 ± 1.5 | 39.3 ± 2.3‡ | 14 |
Phenylephrine | 22.5 ± 2.4 | 15.7 ± 1.3† | 46.5 ± 3.3 | 8 |
Baseline diameters were not significantly different across stimulus frequencies within each experiment therefore baseline diameters for 4 Hz were used as representative.
Significant difference from control values.
Significant difference from phenylephrine maximum diameter.
