Figure 6 Representative pressure tracings for transverse arterioles before, during and after 10-s (A) and 40-s (B) arterial injections of microbubbles and PMs. Microvascular pressure increased during injection for both groups, but then fell below baseline immediately after injection. (C) Bar graph showing the mean pressure increase above baseline during injection in feed arterioles. *p < 0.05 versus 40-s injection group. **p < 0.05 versus baseline.
