| Figure 1. MBF measurement with the radiolabeled microspheres |
| Figure 1 A shows the operation of MBF measurement with the radiolabeled microspheres and the target muscles. The blood pressure was recorded from a polyethylene tube inserted into the right common carotid artery until injection of the radiolabeled microspheres. The microspheres were injected to the aortic arch through the tube. RSB was drawn from a tube inserted into the left femoral artery during the microspheres injection. The target muscles were the right hindlimb muscles (TA, EDL, Sol, Pla and Gas). Both TA and EDL were stimulated by acupuncture needle simultaneously. Figure 1 B shows the protocol of the MBF measurement. Refer to the text for the details. |
