The ischemia-induced decrease of the hematocrit index was the greatest in precapillaries and smallest capillaries. Significant oscillations of the index occurred in reperfusion. Tropafen decreased the index. Applied prior to ischemia, tropafen did not affect microcirculation and redistribution of erythrocytes during ischemia and reperfusion.
Leu-enkephalin (LE) induced mainly a constriction of pial arterioles, diameter of the venules did not change. The effect of the LE involved preservation of the cerebral blood flow and that in microvessels, constriction of some arterioles and reduced dilatation against the background of decreased arterial pressure, bradycardia, increased lymphatic flow and survival of the animals during first hours of occlusion of common carotid arteries.
The lymphatic microvessels of the rat mesentery do not contract rhythmically. Adrenaline and naloxone modulate the lymph-activating effect of opioid peptides (leu-enkephalin and dalargin).

The cortical blood flow of the rat brain was decreased at 44% by the bilateral occlusion of common carotid artery. The intraperitoneal injection of the leu-enkephalin before and after ischemia restored the blood flow and increased the volume of the lymph in ductus thoracicus. Cerebrovascular action of leu-enkephalin was connected with its lymphostimulating activity and vasodilation.
The casein inhibitor of gastric secretion, when applied to the mesentery of anesthetized rat at doses 0.01-10.0 micrograms in 0.1 ml activated the lymph flow due to enhanced contraction of lymphatic microvascular wall and valves. Moreover, casein inhibitor administrated intraintestinally at doses 5 mg in 0.5 ml on rat keep its lymphotropic activity.
The contractile activity of the wall and valve of lymphatic microvessels (LM) of the rat mesentery were studied biomicroscopically by optic photometry. Opioid peptides-Leu-enkephalin and dalargin-stimulated LM. Preliminary application of naloxone on the LM prevented the appearance of the LM contractions following the Leu-enkephalin-application. Naloxone did not inhibit contractions of LM previously activated by Leu-enkephalin. It is supposed that opioid mechanisms are involved in the regulation of the LM contractile activity.
The inclusion of amino acids (tyrosine, arginine) into the end part of the peptide chain permits to produce new analogues stimulating the lymph microvessels of the rat mesentery and increasing the blood microvessels permeability.
Dalargin (a synthetic analog of leu-enkephalin), when applied to the microvessel surface or administered intramuscularly at doses 0.004-40.0 micrograms/kg increased the permeability of the rat mesenteric microvascular wall and activated the lymph flow due to enhanced contraction of lymphatic microvascular wall and valves. Moreover, Dalargin evoked leukocyte migration from venules and activated the intestinal muscular contractions.

The dynamics of the capillary hematocrit in 4-5-, 7- and 11-week rats involved its reduction with ageing from 0.17 l/l in 4-5-week rats to 0.10 l/l in 7- and 11-week ones in spite of considerable variability in each animal group. The reduction of the hematocrit seems to be due to the growth of capillary net in mesentery.
Intravital studies of microcirculation and packed-cell volume in microvessels of rat mesentery demonstrated changes in the direction of the flow and packed-cell volume in the course of 17 minutes' ischemia caused by the occlusion of the afferent arteriole. Deficient inflow to the ischemized region is at first compensated for by the inflow from other microvessels via major anastomoses and later by retrograde flow through the peripheral branches of the occluded arteriole. The development of generalized microcirculatory disorders is preceded by capillary retrograde flow containing venular blood.
The erythrocyte redistribution in the rat mesentery microvessels and the development of postischemic microcirculatory disturbances were influenced by the thrombosis in narrow parts of arterioles and the increase in leukocyte adhesion to venule walls obstructing the blood outflow. The presence of branches and anastomoses in microvascular bed had a pronounced effect on reperfusion disturbances.
Short-term ischemia on the microvascular level in the rat intestine mesentery was induced by occlusion of the a. mesenterica superior or regional supplying arteriole for 1 or 10 min. No substantial disturbances of blood flow velocity and hematocrit occurred in microvessels after 1 min occlusion, whereas the blood flow cessation for 10 min was followed by a decrease of flow velocity in microvessels under study and development of thrombosis at the site of arteriole occlusion.
