Distribution of erythrocytes with chromium 51 was used to compare the capillary volume of adipose tissue and resting skeletal muscle of rats. Based on wet weight, the vascular bed of adipose tissue is of the same order of magnitude as that of muscle, whereas the protein content of the muscle is approximately 16 times greater. The size of the vascular bed per gram of adipose and muscle tissues decreased considerably during aging.
