- W2023649529 abstract "The central role of the cardiovascular system is to maintain adequate capillary perfusion. The spatially and temporally heterogeneous nature of capillary perfusion has been reported in some organs. However, such heterogeneous perfusion properties have not been sufficiently explored in the retina. Arguably, spatial and temporal heterogeneity of capillary perfusion could be more predominant in the retina than that in other organs. This is because the retina is one of the highest metabolic demand neural tissues yet it has a limited blood supply due to optical requirements. In addition, the unique heterogeneous distribution of retinal neural cells within different layers and regions, and the significant heterogeneity of intraretinal oxygen distribution and consumption add to the complexity. Retinal blood flow distribution must match consumption of nutrients such as oxygen and glucose within the retina at the cellular level in order to effectively maintain cell survival and function. Sophisticated local blood flow control in the microcirculation is likely required to control the retinal capillary perfusion to supply local retinal tissue and accommodate temporal and spatial variations in metabolic supply and demand.The authors would like to update the knowledge of the retinal microvessel and capillary network and retinal oxidative metabolism from their own studies and the work of others. The coupling between blood supply and energy demands in the retina is particularly interesting. We will mostly describe information regarding the retinal microvessel network and retinal oxidative metabolism relevant to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of capillary perfusion. We believe that there is significant and necessary spatial and temporal heterogeneity and active regulation of retinal blood flow in the retina, particularly in the macular region.Recently, retinal optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has been widely used in ophthalmology, both experimentally and clinically. OCTA could be a valuable tool for examining retinal microvessel and capillary network structurally and has potential for determining retinal capillary perfusion and its control. We have demonstrated spatial and temporal heterogeneity of capillary perfusion in the retina both experimentally and clinically. We have also found close relationships between the smallest arterioles and capillaries within paired arterioles and venules and determined the distribution of smooth muscle cell contraction proteins in these vessels. Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of retinal capillary perfusion could be a useful parameter to determine retinal microvessel regulatory capability as an early assay for retinal vascular diseases.This topic will be of great interest, not only for the eye but also other organs. The retina could be the best model for such investigations. Unlike cerebral vessels, retinal vessels can be seen even at the capillary level. The purpose of this manuscript is to share our current understanding with the readers and encourage more researchers and clinicians to investigate this field. We begin by reviewing the general principles of microcirculation properties and the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the capillary perfusion in other organs, before considering the special requirements of the retina. The local heterogeneity of oxygen supply and demand in the retina and the need to have a limited and well-regulated retinal circulation to preserve the transparency of the retina is discussed. We then consider how such a delicate balance of metabolic supply and consumption is achieved. Finally we discuss how new imaging methodologies such as optical coherence tomography angiography may be able to detect the presence of spatial and temporal heterogeneity of capillary perfusion in a clinical setting. We also provide some new information of the control role of very small arterioles in the modulation of retinal capillary perfusion which could be an interesting topic for further investigation." @default.
