Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis on transcapillary PO2 gradients (ΔPO2) in contracting skeletal muscle.
Methods: Male Wistar rats (n = 16, 10 weeks old) were randomly assigned to sham or CLP groups. Seven days after surgery, microvascular (PO2mv) and interstitial (PO2is) PO2 levels in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle were measured using the phosphorescence quenching method during the transition from rest to electrically induced muscle contractions. ΔPO2 was calculated as PO2mv minus PO2is.
Results: At rest, there were no differences in PO2mv, PO2is, and ΔPO2 between the sham and CLP groups. The PO2mv and PO2is decreased during the transition from rest to contractions in both groups. During muscle contractions, the PO2mv and ΔPO2 were significantly lower in the CLP group than in the sham group (PO2mv, 7.79 ± 5.03 vs. 4.43 ± 2.23; ΔPO2, 5.50 ± 4.46 vs. 1.82 ± 2.66 mmHg; sham vs. CLP; P < 0.05). The ΔPO2 of the rats in the sham group remained unchanged; however, it markedly decreased during muscle contractions in the CLP group.
Conclusion: Sepsis reduced transcapillary PO2 gradients in contracting skeletal muscles.
期刊介绍:
The ''Journal of Vascular Research'' publishes original articles and reviews of scientific excellence in vascular and microvascular biology, physiology and pathophysiology. The scope of the journal covers a broad spectrum of vascular and lymphatic research, including vascular structure, vascular function, haemodynamics, mechanics, cell signalling, intercellular communication, growth and differentiation. JVR''s ''Vascular Update'' series regularly presents state-of-the-art reviews on hot topics in vascular biology. Manuscript processing times are, consistent with stringent review, kept as short as possible due to electronic submission. All articles are published online first, ensuring rapid publication. The ''Journal of Vascular Research'' is the official journal of the European Society for Microcirculation. A biennial prize is awarded to the authors of the best paper published in the journal over the previous two years, thus encouraging young scientists working in the exciting field of vascular biology to publish their findings.
