title: [Influence of polyethylene oxide Polyox WSR-301 on the pressure in mesenteric arterial microvessels in rats pre-adapted to anti-orthostatic states].
abstract: High-molecular polymers apt to directly influence flow microstructure were tested as a fundamentally new method for correcting microhemodynamics in microgravity. Pressure in the mesenteric arterial microvessels was measured two weeks in rats adapted to the head-down suspension. Intravenous polyethylene oxide (Polyox WSR-301, end-concentration in the order of 2.10(-7) g/ml), reduced the microvascular pressure by 26%, whereas in the control pressure was reduced by only 15%. Systemic arterial pressure showed an equal drop in the groups (by 10 to 11%). These results suggest that the biomechanical agent weakens resistance to the blood flow in the body region where blood supply is impaired by microgravity.
