- Testicular capillary blood flow was studied in rats using laser Doppler flowmetry, in vivo fluorescence microscopy and videophotometric capillaroscopy. All the methods revealed rhythmical oscillations in testicular microcirculation with a periodicity of 4-10 c.p.m. In arterioles, capillaries and small post-capillary vessels, periods of continuous blood flow alternated with periods of no or very low flow. No visible leakage of dextran-150 was observed from the testicular blood vessels. Four, 8 and 16 h after an s.c. injection of 200 IU hCG the blood flow was continuous and there was leakage of dextran-150 from the microvessels to the interstitial tissue. Twenty-four and 32 h after hCG the blood flow pattern was again rhythmical, and at 32 h there was no leakage of dextran-150. This suggests that hCG induces changes in blood flow and transvascular fluid exchange in the testis, perhaps by altering smooth muscle activity at the arteriolar-level.
