Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractile Function Declines With Age in Skeletal Muscle Feed Arteries

Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractile Function Declines With Age in Skeletal Muscle Feed Arteries

Aging induces a progressive decline in vasoconstrictor responses in central and peripheral arteries. This study investigated the hypothesis that vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contractile function declines with age in soleus muscle feed arteries (SFA). Contractile function of cannulated SFA isolated f...
