Abstract:
Aim To establish a method for recording tension changes in small artery in vitro.Methods The vessel segments of intestine were dissected from the mesenteric artery of rats and mounted onto Myograph.The internal circumferences of the segments were normalized with Chart5 software.Then the internal diameters of the segments and initial setting of tension were calculated with self-made Excel file.Following these preparation steps, the tension changes induced by several stimulations were recorded by Myograph.Results Normalization procedure provided the data of lumen diameters of small arteries,which was convenient for initial setting of tension and guaranteed the uniformity of the experimental conditions.Myograph could record the tension changes of small arteries induced by several classic stimulations.Conclusion Precise recording method for tension changes in small arteries in vitro is successfully established.
