Fig. 1.

A: mean absolute (ml/min) abdominal aortic, denervated, and intact leg muscle blood flow during predenervation and 30 s and 5 min postdenervation. B: mean relative (ml·min⁻¹·100 g⁻¹) blood flow in the soleus and red (Gast_Red) and white (Gast_White) portions of the gastrocnemius muscle after denervation. Blood flow to the contralateral (i.e., intact) muscles did not change over the 5-min period. *P < 0.05 vs. predenervation blood flow (time 0). †P < 0.05 vs. blood flow at 5 min postdenervation.
