Increase in blood flow (mL/min) after local administration of adenosine in experiment number 5 (a). Distribution of adenosine doses (μg/kg/min) with the corresponding blood flow levels (mL/min) in the first 7 experiments. The adenosine dose was set individually for each pig to achieve certain blood flows (b). Distribution of adenosine doses (μg/kg/min) with the corresponding changes in blood flow [%] in the first 7 experiments. The increase in blood flow is given relativly to the baseline blood flow of each pig (c).
