title: [A drop in "apparent" blood viscosity due to administration of high-molecular polymer capable of augmenting viscosity].
abstract: Influence of a high-molecular compound capable of augmenting viscosity, namely: polyethylene oxide Polyox WSR-301, on hemodynamic parameters in rat mesenteric microvessels was investigated. A substantial decrease in the arteriolar hemodynamic resistance caused by the polymer was revealed. Special research has shown that this reaction is not connected with a vasodilatation and, therefore, is caused by a reduction in the "apparent" viscosity of the blood, i.e., it is a consequence of changed properties of the blood flow.
