Fig. 3. Changes of arterial fluorocrit (A ), venular erythrocyte velocity (B ), leukocyte sticking (C ), and functional capillary density (D ) in the striated skin muscle of the awake Syrian golden hamster before and after intravenous (topload) infusion of 2 and 6 ml/kg body weight of perflubron emulsion (PFOB, 60% weight/volume). Fluorocrit indicates the percentage of perflubron emulsion of the total blood drawn from the carotid artery. Values are mean ± SD, n = 6. #P < 0.05 versus PFOB (2 ml/kg), Mann–Whitney test. RBC = red blood cell.
