Abstract
We sought to determine if a pannexin/purinergic-dependent intravascular communication pathway exists in skeletal muscle microvasculature that facilitates capillary communication with upstream arterioles that control their perfusion. Using the hamster cremaster muscle and intravital microscopy, we locally stimulated capillaries and observed the vasodilatory response in the associated upstream 4A arteriole. We stimulated capillaries with vasodilators relevant to muscle contraction: 10<sup>-6</sup> M <i>S</i>-nitroso-<i>N</i>-acetyl-dl-penicillamine (SNAP; nitric oxide donor), 10<sup>-6</sup> M adenosine, 10 mM potassium chloride, 10<sup>-5</sup> M pinacidil, as well as a known initiator of gap-junction-dependent intravascular communication, acetylcholine (10<sup>-5</sup> M), in the absence and the presence of the purinergic membrane receptor blocker suramin (10<sup>-5</sup> M), pannexin blocker mefloquine (2 × 10<sup>-5</sup> M), or probenecid (5 × 10<sup>-6</sup> M) and gap-junction inhibitor halothane (0.07%) applied in the transmission pathway, between the capillary stimulation site and the upstream 4A observation site. Potassium chloride, SNAP, and adenosine-induced upstream vasodilations were significantly inhibited by suramin, mefloquine, and probenecid but not halothane, indicating the involvement of a pannexin/purinergic-dependent signaling pathway. Conversely, SNAP-induced upstream vasodilation was only inhibited by halothane indicating that communication was facilitated by gap junctions. Both pinacidil and acetylcholine were inhibited by suramin but only acetylcholine was inhibited by halothane. These data demonstrate the presence of a pannexin/purinergic-dependent communication pathway between capillaries and upstream arterioles controlling their perfusion. This pathway adds to the gap-junction-dependent pathway that exists at this vascular level as well. Given that vasodilators relevant to muscle contraction can use both of these pathways, our data implicate the involvement of both pathways in the coordination of skeletal muscle blood flow.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Blood flow control during increased metabolic demand in skeletal muscle is not fully understood. Capillaries have been implicated in controlling blood flow to active skeletal muscle, but how capillaries communicate to the arteriolar vascular network is not clear. Our study uncovers a novel pathway through which capillaries can communicate to upstream arterioles to cause vasodilation and therefore control perfusion. This work implicates a new vascular communication pathway in blood flow control in skeletal muscle.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
