Rat ABF measurement by laser-Doppler flowmetry. A, ABF above the major vein and upper right (1), upper left (2), middle front (3), lower left (4), and lower right (5) areas of the rat adrenal gland; n = 7. The inset shows measurement locations. B and C, ABF and MAP under baseline conditions, aortic occlusion (aorta), adrenal vein occlusion (vein), and occlusion release (recovery); n = 4–6. *, Significantly different from nonvein sites or from baseline values (ANOVA with SNK post hoc analysis).
