Relationship between capillary red blood cell (RBC) supply rate (SR) and plasma NO2− + NO3− (NOx). RBC supply rate (RBC/s) at the arteriolar end of capillaries in hind limb skeletal muscle was measured using a functional microvascular imaging system, as described in the Methods. Plasma NOx was measured in arterial blood samples, as described in the Methods. Linear regression detected a significant relationship between capillary RBC supply rate and plasma NOx level in septic animals (black boxes). White circles = sham
