Why the study?
Does ageing and reduced physical activity alter vascular morphology and shear stress in rat skeletal muscle?
Does ageing and reduced physical activity alter vascular morphology and shear stress in rat skeletal muscle?
Ageing and reduced physical activity in rats are associated with resistance artery rarefaction, while resting shear stress is maintained through compensatory increases in vessel diameter.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Age-related feed artery rarefaction in rat muscle preserves resting shear stress; hypothesis-generating for human vascular ageing and exercise intolerance.
Behnke et al. (2006) studied this question.
