Alterations in visceral resistance artery function following simulated microgravity /

During orthostasis, approximately 45% of the elevation in peripheral vascular resistance occurs through constriction of the renal and splanchnic vasculature. Because rodents experience orthostatic hypotension following hindlimb unloading (HU), a model to simulate microgravity, the purpose of this s...
