The influence of muscular contractions on acetylcholine effects on nutritive blood flow in the hindpaw of dog.
In the earlier investigations it was shown that muscular exercise augmented the dilator effects of ACh in the vascular bed of the hind leg of dog. To get a closer insight into this phenonenon the effects of acetylcholine on the nutritive blood flow in contracting skeletal muscle in the dog were studied. It was found that i.a. acetylcholine administration raises the nutritive blood flow in the investigated vascular bed within about 30--36 minutes after muscular contractions. The nutritive blood flow during and following muscular contractions induced by stimuli of varying frequency was also investigated.
