Novel video method for acquiring and modeling in vivo hemodynamic data from arteriolar networks of rat gluteus maximus skeletal muscle

Experiment based mathematical models of skeletal muscle arteriolar hemodynamics are currently limited. Thus, we developed a skeletal muscle preparation to acquire in vivo hemodynamic data across arteriolar networks to compare to a steady‐state computational flow model. Our rat gluteus maximus muscle preparation enabled complete evaluation of microvascular networks (feed artery to capillary network) within the same focal plane. Using …
