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.read more

TL;DR: Adaptation in the structure of conduit arteries to prolonged tail suspension, with diameter altered regionally and wall thickness increased systemically is illustrated, suggesting that chronic changes in activity patterns can influence arterial structure.

TL;DR: It is important to determine if alterations in endothelial cell function by various disease states such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cerebral vasospasm, and others cause changes in the vascular actions of anesthetics.

Akos Koller,Gabor Kaley +1 more
TL;DR: For a long time, locally released metabolic factors from parenchymal cells and the myo-genic response of vascular smooth muscle were considered to be the two main peripheral regulatory mechanisms to control vascular resistance and thereby determining the distribution of blood flow and pressure within vascular networks of various organs of the body.

Peak and time‐integrated shear rates independently predict flow‐mediated dilation
Lee Stoner,Kevin K. McCully +1 more
TL;DR: To determine whether peak and time‐integrated shear rates independently predict flow‐mediated dilation (FMD), the objective is to establish a probabilistic relationship between these rates and FMD.

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.
