Abstract
The length of the free surface of the capillary endothelium in the soleus muscle of rats whose mobility was restricted for between 1 and 60 days was studied on electron micrographs of transverse sections through the capillaries. On the first day of the experiment the length of the free surface of the endothelial cells was increased by 1.6–1.8 times over the control. On the 30th–60th day of limited movement these changes were no longer significant.
