Abstract
This study continues our previous investigations of the possible modulating effects of extremely low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF), which have potential physiotherapeutic uses, on the regulation of microcirculatory dynamics, by examining changes in blood vessel diameter. Dynamic changes in the diameter of blood vessels, i.e., vasomotion, are regulated by many physiological and biochemical factors that play important roles in regulating homeostasis in living organisms. In this investigation we analyzed magnitude of changes of blood vessel diameter on the base of the is related to blood volume per cross area versus time in microcirculatory network. Magnitude of arteriolar vasomotion is one criterion both for difference of diameter at semi-constricted and semi-dilated state, this parameter mechanical properties of micro-blood vessels and dynamical regulatory mechanisms of blood flow and metabolic activity of perfuse tissue.
