The purpose of this
study was to noninvasively quantify the effects of insulin on capillary
blood volume (capBV) and RBC velocity (VRBC) in
skeletal muscle in vivo with the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
We performed contrast ultrasound of the rat hindlimb adductor muscles
at baseline and after 2-h infusions of either insulin (3 or 40 mU · kg
1 · min
1) or saline.
Saline-treated animals were also studied during contractile exercise.
VRBC and capBV were calculated from the relation
between pulsing interval and video intensity. Femoral artery blood
flow, measured by a flow probe, increased with both contractile
exercise and insulin. Contractile exercise increased capBV more than
twofold and VRBC fivefold. Insulin also
increased capBV more than twofold in a dose-dependent fashion but did
not significantly alter VRBC. Saline infusion
did not significantly alter capBV, VRBC, or
femoral artery blood flow. We conclude that physiological changes in
skeletal muscle capillary perfusion can be assessed in vivo with the
use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Exercise increases both
VRBC and capBV, whereas hyperinsulinemia
selectively increases only capBV, which may enhance skeletal muscle
glucose uptake.
