Fig. 4From: Progressive arteriolar vasoconstriction and fatigue during tetanic contractions of rat skeletal muscle are inhibited by α-receptor blockadeTime course of arteriolar and venular diameter changes during recovery after 1, 5, and 10 sets for each contraction protocols. Values of vessel inner diameter are normalized to each pre-contracting baseline diameter which was unchanged during the time course of the experiment. In the 0.2- and 4-ms pulse duration conditions, relative arteriolar and venular diameter changes are shown. Values are means ± SE (0.2 ms: n = 6; 4 ms: n = 8)Back to article page
