Erythrocyte-Associated Transients in Capillary PO2 in the Rat Spinotrapezius Muscle During Hemodilution with Hespan and a Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carrier
… PO2 fluctuations can be determined. The spinotrapezius muscle in sixteen Sprague-Dawley rats was exteriorized for intravital microscopy measurements in capillaries. Capillary PO2 was measured using Pd-porphyrin phosphorescence quenching microcopy. The hemodiluents used in isovolemic …

Effect of Nitric Oxide on Oxygen Consumption of Skeletal Muscle
… VO2. Thus, NO can modulate VO2 of skeletal muscle. The purpose of the present study was to measure VO2 of the rat spinotrapezius muscle under conditions of altered NO. The methods used provide a direct way to measure PO2 in the interstitium (PISFO2) and use it as indicator of local metabolic …

Effects of emphysema and chronic hypoxemia on skeletal muscle oxygen supply and demand
Skeletal muscle dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition in which peripheral skeletal muscle undergoes myopathic changes which impair muscle function, limit physical performance, and can lead to significant disability. While the etiology of the dysfunction is …

The Effects of Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers On Mean Arterial Pressure, Arteriolar Diameter, and Nitric Oxide in the Microcirculation
… bovine hemoglobin. The spinotrapezius muscle of female Sprague-Dawley rats was exteriorized for microcirculatory observations. HBOC in doses of 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 μM i.v., LNAME (30 mg/kg, i.v.), and papaverine (100 μM, topically) were given to the rat. Heparinized …

Distraction of Heterotopic Bone Formed with BMP-2 in a Rat Model: The Technique
… The anterior corners were sutured to the spinotrapezius muscle for stabilization. The titanium cage containing rhBMP-2 in a collagen carrier was allowed to form bone for 21 days. It was then retrieved and prepared with TRAP stain to observe osteoclast activity. A high osteoclast activity …
