Muscle blood flow (BF) was measured using the radiolabeled microsphere technique within and among 9 major muscles of rats before exercise and during treadmill walking or running at speeds of 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 m/min. Measurements were made during exercise after 1 min of steady walking or running. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were chronically instrumented with 2 Silastic catheters, one in the ascending aorta via the right carotid artery for microsphere infusion and one in the left renal artery for arterial reference blood sample withdrawal. The preexercise results showed the following: BF to deep slow-twitch muscles was 3-4 times that to peripheral fast muscles (e.g., soleus and gastrocnemius BF were 138 and 33 ml .cntdot. min-1 .cntdot. 100 g-1, respectively); BF to red portions within mixed muscles were 3-4 times that to white portions (e.g., red and white gastrocnemius BF were 54 and 18 ml .cntdot. min-1 .cntdot. 100 g-1, respectively); and there was a direct relationship (P < 0.05) between BF to muscles and their slow-twitch oxidative fiber populations. The results obtained during exercise showed the following: at the slowest speed studied (15 m/min) BF to the red portions of muscles increased, whereas BF to the white portions of the same muscles decreased; BF to all muscles (except soleus) were increased during running at 75 m/min when there was a range of flows of 39 ml .cntdot. 100 g-1 .cntdot. min-1 (white gastrocnemius) to 321 (vastus intermedius); at all running speeds the increases in BF to muscles were directly related to the fast-twitch, high-oxidative fiber populations of the muscles; and BF to visceral tissues and fat were decreased during exercise.
