## Abstract A rabbit ear model has been developed in which arterial pressure, auricular blood flow conductance, and microvascular perfusion can be followed continuously in conscious animals. Conductance is measured with a transitβtime flow probe placed around the auricular artery, arterial pressure
## Abstract Conditions such as Raynaud's disease, cold intolerance following digit replantation, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy are all exacerbated by diminished blood flow in the digits. The rabbit ear, being similar to the human digit, is an excellent model for studying microvascular responses
## Abstract ## Objective To determine whether oral glucosamine alleviates cartilage degradation in an animal model of osteoarthritis (OA). ## Methods The effect of 8 weeks of daily oral glucosamine hydrochloride on degeneration of articular cartilage was evaluated in rabbits in which anterior cr
The laser pulse doppler provides a noninvasive, reproducible method to measure the flux in distal capillary blood flow in a rabbit ear model. The distal capillary blood flow responds proportionally to changes in periarterial lidocaine concentration. The response is biphasic. Flow initially decreased
