Animal data on oxygen effects on vasomotion should not alter clinical practice; leaves open translation to human skeletal muscle microcirculation.
Does hypoxia or hyperoxia alter arteriolar vasomotion frequency and diameter in skeletal muscle microcirculation?
Hypoxia and hyperoxia induce distinct, vessel-order-specific changes in arteriolar vasomotion and capillary blood flow in skeletal muscle microcirculation.
Bertuglia et al. (1991) studied this question.
