Comparing local microcirculation (flow rate in arbitrary units, A.U) at the parenchyma of each organ. Flow at the stomach and liver decreased significantly during occlusion in zone 1, no changes occurred during occlusion in zones 2 or 3. Flow at the colon and small intestines, and the kidney decreased significantly during occlusion of zones 1 and 2, when compared to baseline, but not during occlusion in zone 3. Flow at the extremity did not change significantly. * Significantly different when compared to baseline (p < 0.05)
