Abstract
Abstract Biomechanical changes of large arteries and veins of the splanchnic and cranial regions were studied in dogs subjected to heavy treadmill exercise during a 55 week period. Passive stress-strain properties of the vessels were determined using an in-vitro large-deformation mechanical test. External, internal radii, and consequently lumen capacity per unit length of splenic veins were significantly larger in trained versus sedentary dogs at each intraluminal pressure (IP) level studied (e.g. lumen volume at IP of 8 mmHg: 0.276 ± 0.044 cm 3 /cm vs. 0.132 ± 0.027 cm 3 /cm; p 3 /cm vs. 0.068 ± 0.027 cm 3 /cm, at 8 mmHg; p
