Fig. 6From: Early impairment of coronary microvascular perfusion capacity in rats on a high fat dietImaging of the gastrocnemius muscle microcirculation to measure glycocalyx barrier properties. a Volume was determined for all vessel diameters (5–25 µm) for control rats (n = 9) and HFD rats (n = 9) and are not significantly different (p = 0.82). b No significant differences are found between the PBR of control rats (1.68 ± 0.09) and HFD rats (1.58 ± 0.02). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05Back to article page
