Local and general responses to injury in the newborn rabbit

R A Little
PMCID: PMC2466911  PMID: 5343587

Abstract

Some physiological responses to experimental bilateral hind limb ischaemia have been studied and compared in neonatal and young rabbits.

The fluid loss into the injured limbs after removal of the tourniquets has been expressed as a percentage of the plasma volume and of the total body water at the different ages.

The reactivity of skin blood vessels to a variety of known mediators of an inflammatory response has been investigated using labelling techniques.
