PRELIMINARY
5.1
Pre-warming the Animal (Rat & Mouse)
Place the animal in a warming cupboard, at about 29-30°C for at least 30 minutes, in order to
cause a sufficient vasodilation in the caudal artery. We recommend our models, purposefully de-
signed for this task, see 2.7-Optional Animal Heater /Scanner.
Some researchers feel that in this way the vasodilation of the whole vascular system will inevita-
bly cause a “pressure drop”. This pressure drop takes place in all animals and consequently the
reliability of a pressure screening should not be severely affected. Admittedly, this reasoning may
leave some scientists uncomfortable about the artefact he/she feels it may impair the experiment.
