Abstract
Dysregulation of capillary blood flow seems associated with a number of diseases, but the majority of measurements of capillary flow distributions have been performed in brain or muscle capillary beds. From other organs, e.g. the kidney, there is a lack of empirical data on capillary blood distributions and lack of knowledge about the relationships between capillary blood distributions and disease states. We therefore aim to provide measurements of red blood cell (rbc) velocities in renal glomerular capillaries in vivo by using 2-photon microscopy. We further aim to investigate if and how the distribution of rbc velocities in renal glomerular capillaries is affected by STZ-induced diabetes and by ACE-inhibition in age-induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Münich Wistar Frömter rats.
