Abstract

In this paper we investigated the lymph flow and other parameters of lymph microcirculation in vivo. The analysis of lymphatic functions in norm and at the topical application of N-nitro-L-arginin (L-NNA, 10^-4M), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, 30%) was performed. We observed lymph microvessels of rat mesentery with diameter from 50 to 270 micrometers . The lymph flow velocity was determined by the biomicroscopic (V) and speckle-interferometrical (M₁) methods. L-NNA and DMSO led to different effects on diameters of lymphatics. L-NNA as well as DMSO stimulated the phasic activity and lymph flow in microvessels of rat mesentery. We suggested that used vasoactive drugs stimulated lymph pumping by different ways.
