TLDR
The dilatation response occurred despite slight reductions in femoral blood pressure, and was present after ganglionic blockade, blockade of alpha and beta receptors with phenoxybenzamine and propranolol, atropinization and injection of an antihistamine.
Abstract
Diameters of the exposed femoral artery of anesthetized dogs were continuously measured with ultrasonic elements of lead zirconate titanate. In 13 of 16 dogs vascular diameters increased following a sudden increment in arterial blood flow induced by the injection of vasodilating agents (acetylcholine, histamine) peripheral to the recording level, by opening an arteriovenous shunt, or after tetanic stimulation of the sciatic nerve. The dilatation response occurred despite slight reductions in femoral blood pressure, and was present after ganglionic blockade, blockade of alpha and beta receptors with phenoxybenzamine and propranolol, atropinization and injection of an antihistamine. The dilatation response was also observed after transsection of the femoral artery distal to the recording level and is therefore not dependent on the retrograde propagation of nervous or myogenous impulses along the vascular wall.

Effects of pulsatile shear stress on signaling mechanisms controlling nitric oxide production, endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation, and expression in ovine fetoplacental artery endothelial cells.

TL;DR: P pulsatile shear stress greatly induces NO production by OFPAE cells through the mechanisms of both PI-3K-mediated eNOS activation and elevations in eNos protein levels; bFGF does not further stimulate eN OS expression under flow condition.

Skeletal Muscle Circulation

TL;DR: The aim of this treatise is to summarize the current understanding of the mechanisms for blood flow control to skeletal muscle under resting conditions, how perfusion is elevated (exercise hyperemia) to meet the increased demand for oxygen and other substrates during exercise.

Subtypes of beta-adrenergic receptors in bovine coronary arteries.

TL;DR: Large coronary arteries of the calf contain both beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors identified utilizing ligand binding techniques, and stimulation of both receptor subtypes in the intact conscious animal results in large coronary artery dilation, independent of blood-flow-mediated vasodilation.

Effects of Pulsatile Shear Stress on Nitric Oxide Production and Endothelial Cell Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression by Ovine Fetoplacental Artery Endothelial Cells

TL;DR: Elevations of placental blood flow and physiologic shear stress may be partly responsible for the increases in placental arterial endothelial eNOS expression and NO production during pregnancy.

Dipyridamole dilates large coronary arteries in conscious dogs.

TL;DR: As long as dipyridamole does not induce severe sustained hypotension it exerts potent effects on both coronary arterial resistance and large coronary arteries in the conscious dog, which appears dependent on myocardial adenosine production.

On the local reactions of the arterial wall to changes of internal pressure.

TL;DR: My attention was first directed to these phenomena by the occurrence of curves like that reproduced in Fig. 11, which showed the effect of a fall of arterial pressure produced by exI citing the central end of the depressor nerve on the volume of the hind leg of the rabbit, the sciatic and the nerves accompanying the femoral artery having been cut.
