The parameters of lymphatic contractile activity in isolated segments of the rat thoracic duct after culture under non-pressurized conditions.

Day 0 – parameters of lymphatic contractile activity in control group of non-cultured lymphatic segments (n=6); Days 3-6 - parameters of lymphatic contractile activity in group of lymphatic segments cultured for 3-6 days (n=7); Days 7-9 – similar parameters for segments cultured for 7-9 days (n=8). *Indicates significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) within each group between parameters at an initial level of transmural pressure of 1 cm H2O versus all other levels of transmural pressure during the acute functional tests.
