... normotensive; 5/6 NX had HTN Significant rarefaction in both stages independent of HTN, similar decrease in capillary/fiber ratio; changes differ in muscles (MG >> ML) MG: 56% (½ NX), 48% (5/6 NX) ML: 33% (½ NX), 11% (5/6 NX) (Staining, alkaline phosphatase) [ 17 ] Flisinski et al. 2012 Rat...

... by 24 h ambulatory measurements. Insulin sensitivity was determined using the hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp technique. Skin capillary recruitment after arterial occlusion was visualized with videomicroscopy and endothelium-(in)dependent vasodilation was evaluated with iontophoresis...

...) in fibre type distribution, MyHC (myosin heavy chain) expression or fibre CSA (cross-sectional area) between the two groups. There were, however, significant differences ( P <0.05) in CC/F (capillary contact/fibre), C/F (capillary to fibre ratio) and cytochrome c oxidase activity. The HD group had 33...

... tissue fluid economy. Therefore, possible definitions of heart failure include an abnormality of cardiac performance which leads to disruption of micro- vascular function . The clinical features are then explained in terms of inadequate flow in nutritive capillaries, leading to organ dysfunction...
