Presentation of an experimental method to induce in vitro ("organ chambers") respiratory acidosis and its effect on vascular reactivity

PURPOSE:To create in vitro a model to generate acidosis by CO2bubbling "organ chambers", which would be useful for researchers that aim to study the effects of acid-base disturbs on the endothelium-dependent vascular reactivity.METHODS:Eighteen male Wistar rats (230-280g) were housed, befo...
