The stereomorphological arrangement of skeletal muscle capillaries depends on many factors. Genetic biochemical composition of muscle fibers, age, and training can interfere with the growth of the capillary network. This study is focused on the age effect of chronic reduction of blood flow, as in arterial stenosis, in skeletal muscle network of young rats when compared with adult rats. It has been observed that there is a statistically significant decrease of the length of short capillaries which cross the muscle fibers. In adult rats the opposite occurs.

Abstract
The stereomorphological arrangement of skeletal muscle capillaries depends on many factors. Genetic biochemical composition of muscle fibers, age, and training can interfere with the growth of the capillary network. This study is focused on the age effect of chronic reduction of blood flow, as in arterial stenosis, in skeletal muscle network of young rats when compared with adult rats. It has been observed that there is a statistically significant decrease of the length of short capillaries which cross the muscle fibers. In adult rats the opposite occurs.
