Suggests microvascular pressure buffering in animals; leaves open relevance to human hypertension or organ perfusion.
This study demonstrates that while arteriolar pressures linearly follow systemic blood pressure, capillary pressures remain relatively constant due to the specific vascular geometry of the mesentery.
Robert W. Gore (1974) studied this question.
