Description:
|
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in interstitial fluid balance—it collects and transports fluid and proteins lost to the interstitial space from blood capillaries to the circulation system. We plan to study the response of rat mesenteric lymphatic vessels to various physiological stimuli, including short chain fatty acids.
