Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to elucidate the feature of coronary artery in diabetic patients. First of all, we developed a system of synchrotron radiation coronary microangiography (SRCA) in the in vivo rat. SRCA can visualize vessels as small as 50 um in diameter, thus enabling us to evaluate the coronary artery reaction in the in vivo rat. After that, SRCA could confirm the microvascular constriction of the coronary arteries in the in vivo rat after endothelin administration and detect 25 um caliber change of coronary artery.
And also, SRCA could confirm that sympathetic nerve stimulation by cold exposure induced coronary vasoconstriction in the in vivo diabetic rat. Average dimeter of all measured coronary arteries after cold exposure was increased by 9% in the normal rat and decreased by 10% in the DM rats. This result suggests that the biological response function of coronary artery against external stress is low in the in vivo diabetic rats.
