Detection of blood flow perfusion and post - occlusive reactive hyperemia in the skeletal muscle of rats

Post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) remains poorly understood in the skeletal muscle system. This study was designed to validate an alternative strategy of PORH detection in rodents. Additionally, we explored the hypothesis that PORH is influenced by experimental models associated with impaired function of the skeletal muscle. Wistar rats were anesthetized, and blood flow was assessed by laser Doppler in the anterior tibialis muscle, before...
