Fig. 6. The effect of propranolol (A,B) and clonidine (C,D) on arterial
(Qa) and venous (Qv) blood flow to the
abdominal skin in non-acclimated (NAc; A,C) and heat-acclimated (HAc; B,D)
pigeons at room temperature. HAc pigeons responded to both treatments by an
increase in Qa and a decrease in Qv
(P<0.005). No difference in
Qav
blood flow was observed in the NAc pigeons (P>0.05). Values are
means ± S.E.M. of 7 birds. *P<0.05,
**P<0.005. The asterisks in parentheses indicate a
significant difference between Qa and
Qv values.
