… Heating was provided from the ventral side. The breathing rate, heart rate and oxygen saturation were monitored during the whole experiment using an MRI-compatible pulse oxymeter (MouseOx TM, Starr Life Sciences Corp. Pittsburgh PA, USA). … To study how a synchronized activation of two independent pathways affects the fMRI response in a common targeted […]
… Prior to the start of image acquisition, animal respiratory and heart rates were monitored using a pulseoximeter (MouseOx system, Starr Life Sciences Corp), and anesthesia adjusted to ensure similar physiological conditions between animals and across experiments. … Tumor-associated lymphatics are postulated to provide a transit route for disseminating metastatic cells. This notion is supported […]
… Heating was provided from the ventral side and heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen saturation was monitored during the whole experiment using an MRI-compatible pulse oxymeter (MouseOx TM , Starr Life Sciences Corp. Pittsbugh PA, USA). … Functional magnetic resonance imaging and electrophysiology were combined to monitor blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signals in […]
… ocular circulations. The respirator was adjusted so that arterial oxygen saturation (STARR Life Sciences, MouseOx Plus) was > 90% and expired CO2 (Surgivet TM V9004) was 35-40 mmHg throughout the experiments. Body … Blood flow (BF) in many tissues is stable during significant fluctuations in systemic arterial blood pressure or perfusion pressure under normal […]
… From this time point until the end of the imaging session, inject the animal with 50 μl of saline at 1 hr intervals (or 25 μl of saline with PI every 30 min). To monitor the animal’s vital signs, attach an oximeter probe (eg MouseOx system by Starr Life Sciences, Inc.) 19 . … […]
… Rectal temperature was maintained at 37.0 ± 0.5 °C with warm-water circulating pad. Heart rate and blood oxygen saturation level were continuously monitored by a MouseOx system (STARR Life Science Corp., Oakmont, PA) and maintained within normal ranges. … High-resolution functional-magnetic-resonance-imaging (fMRI) has been used to study brain functions at increasingly finer scale, but […]
