The Mesenteric Circulation in Diarrheal Diseases.
Abstract
Investigations were conducted to understand the role of the intestinal circulation in response to naturally occurring vasoactive substances, to drugs, to shock states and to increases in either intestinal motor activity or tension of the gut wall. In addition, the hydrodynamics of a diarrheal model were elucidated. Primary methods employed included use of anesthetized dogs and monkeys, measurement of mesenteric blood flow, gut and blood pressures with implanted flow or pressure transducers, intraarterial infusion of a variety of vasoactive agents and measurement of tissue enzymes by isotopic methods.
