DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF HEAT ON THE SPLENIC AND RENAL VASCULAR BEDS: VASOCONSTRICTION IN THE SPLEEN AND VASODILATION IN THE KIDNEY,

Abstract

Temperature of the perfusate (blood) was in creased for variable intervals of time from the hypothermic level of 32 C to the hyperthermic level of 42 C, in the perfused kidney and spleen of the dog. The calculated resistance in the renal vascular bed decreased progressively as temperature was raised, whereas it increased progressively in the splenic vascular bed under identical circumstances.
