Parameters of microcirculation in hamster buccal pouches under conditions of reduced systemic blood pressure

Laser Doppler flowmetry studies showed that blood flow in the microcirculation bed of paired buccal pouches in hamsters decreased under conditions of reduced systemic blood pressure and this decrease is more pronounced in the left pouch. The transition of the circulatory bed to the new state is step-wise in the left pouch and continuous in the right one. __________ Translated from Byulleten’ Eksperimental’noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 145, No. 1, pp. 29–34, January, 2008
