Comparison of the parameters of the contractile activity of the adult 9- and 24-mo rat MLV in vivo vs. those parameters of the isolated rat MLV under control conditions and after nonspecific NOS blockade induced by 100 μM of l-NAME. A–C: contractile activity parameters as noted on the vertical axis. Control: parameters of contractility of MLV in vivo or in isolated MLV at intravascular pressures of 1 cm H2O (Isolated P = 1) or at 3 cm H2O (Isolated P = 3). Significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) between active lymph pump parameters: ◊P ≤ 0.05, 9-mo control vs. 24-mo control and 9-mo l-NAME vs. 24-mo l-NAME; *P ≤ 0.05, MLV in vivo vs. isolated MLV (for such comparisons the horizontal line adjacent to * demonstrates pairs of the contractile parameters where the significant differences were observed).
