Abstract: Muscle microvasculature critically regulates skeletal and cardiac muscle health and function. It provides endothelial surface area for substrate exchange between the plasma compartment and the muscle interstitium. Insulin fine‐tunes muscle microvascular perfusion to regulate its… read more here.
