Differing mechanisms of cold-induced changes in capillary supply in m. tibialis anterior of rats and hamsters
(COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2002)
The physiological, metabolic and anatomical adaptations of skeletal muscle to chronic cold exposure were investigated in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), a species that defends core temperature, and Syrian hamsters ...
Chronic hypoxia induces prolonged angiogenesis in skeletal muscles of rat
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2002)
Skeletal muscle capillarity and fibre cross-sectional area were investigated within and between diaphragm (Diaph), extensor digitorum longus (EDL), soleus (SOL) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of control and chronic ...
Muscle ischaemia in rats may be relieved by overload-induced angiogenesis
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2002)
Alleviation of muscle ischaemia by improving capillary supply has proved difficult, possibly reflecting the inability to substantially increase blood flow. We reasoned that muscle overload, which induces angiogenesis in ...
The effects of reduced temperature and photoperiod on body composition in hibernator and non-hibernator rodents
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2002)
We examined the differential change in body composition in response to a gradual reduction in both environmental temperature and photoperiod to mimic seasonal fluctuations in the wild (summer-winter transition), from ambient ...
