Hemodynamics of the juvenile knee in relation to increasing intra-articular pressure. An experimental study in dogs.

The relationships between intraosseous pressure and regional blood flow in the juxta-articular epiphyses were determined in the knees of immature dogs. Intraosseous pressures were continuously registered in one knee. Regional blood flow rates were simultaneously determined by the microsphere technique before and after venous tamponade of both knee joint capsules.

Bone blood flow in conscious dogs at rest and during exercise.

Using the microsphere technique bone blood flow was measured in different anatomical and functional regions in long bones in conscious dogs. The measurements were performed during physical exercise upon a treadmill, and the bone blood flow values were obtained as prework resting values after 1 and 2 hours of exercise and after 1 hour of rest. The perfusion rates increased 50 per cent from 1.

Blood flow in different adipose tissue depots during prolonged exercise in dogs.

Adipose tissue blood flow was measured by the microsphere technique in all major adipose tissue depots in dogs during exercise. The measurements were done during rest, after 1 and 2 h of exercise and after a postexercise rest period. It was found that the blood flow to the inguinal, subcutaneous adipose tissue increased from about 6 ml/(100 g .

Subcutaneous adipose tissue blood flow and triacylglycerol-mobilization during prolonged exercise in dogs.

In 6 dogs concentration differences for glycerol and FFA were measured between the aorta and the external pudendal vein, a vein which mainly drains subcutaneous adipose tissue in dogs, during prolonged exercise. It was found that the a-v differences increased about 2-fold for both glycerol and FFA, however great interindividual differences were found. In 4 dogs adipose tissue blood flow, glycerol and FFA a-v differences were measured simultaneously, and the mobilizations of glycerol and FFA as well as the re-esterification of FFA were calculated.

Human adipose tissue blood flow during prolonged exercise, III. Effect of beta-adrenergic blockade, nicotinic acid and glucose infusion.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue blood flow (ATBF) was measured in six male subjects by the 133Xe-washout technique during 3-4 h of exercise at a work load corresponding to an oxygen uptake of about 1.71/min. The measurements were done during control conditions, during blockade of lipolysis by nicotinic acid, during acute i.

Influence of blood flow on fatty acid mobilization form lipolytically active adipose tissue.

Subcutaneous, ingvinal adipose tissue from dogs was perfused with blood to which had been added isoprenaline and theophyllamine in order to stimulate lipolysis. The supply of free fatty acid (FFA) carrier to the tissue was varied either by variations in the rate of blood flow or by changes in the albumin concentration of the perfusing blood at constant flow rate. The net production of FFA from the tissue was found to depend on the supply of carrier over a range from 0.

Skin temperature and subcutaneous adipose blood flow in man.

The abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue blood flow (ATBF) was measured bilaterally by the 133Xe washout method. At one side of the skin (epicutaneous) temperature was varied with a temperature blanket, the other side served as control. There was a significant (P less than 0.

Human adipose tissue blood flow during prolonged exercise II.

Subcutaneous and perirenal adipose tissue blood flows (ATBF) were measured by the 133Xe washout method before, during and after 4h exercise on a bicycle ergometer. The load corresponded to about 50% of VO2 max (i.e.

Adipose tissue blood flow during prolonged, heavy exercise.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue blood flow (ATBF) was examined in 8 subjects during 6 h exercise on a bicycle ergometer. The initial work load was 118 W corresponding to about 50% of maximal work capacity. The oxygen uptake increased from 0.

Compensation for geometric changes during monitoring of 133Xe washout from subcutaneous adipose tissue.

A method is described for automatic compensation of changes in geometry during monitoring of 133Xe-washout curves from subcutaneous depots. A 99mTc source is placed on the skin over the 133Xe depot, and both isotopes are counted simultaneously. Variations in the 99mTc activity (corrected for radioactive decay) reflects changes in counting geometry and efficiency and are used for correction of the 133Xe elimination curve.
