Applications of microdialysis in studies of exercise.
Microdialysis provides a means of determining nutrient blood flow as well as continuous simultaneous determination of the interstitial concentration of nutrients and metabolites. Microdialysis also allows for local delivery of pharmacological agents to tissue without resultant systemic effects. The potential of microdialysis for exercise studies is clear, yet relatively untapped.
