Figure 1. Ischemia Decreases Force Maintenance.

(A) Representative force tracings of perfused (solid line) and ischemic (grey line) mesenteric microvessels during 80mM KCl depolarization. Following KCl depolarization, force rapidly rises to a peak in both perfused and ischemic preparations. However, force maintenance was reduced in the ischemic mesenteric vessels, compared to that in perfused vessels (P<0.05). (B) Representative force tracings of perfused (solid line) and ischemic (grey line) mesenteric microvessels during PE activation. Force rapidly rises to a peak in both perfused and ischemic preparations. However, force maintenance was reduced in the ischemic mesenteric vessels, as compared to that in perfused vessel (P<0.05).
