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

Flow‐mediated nitric oxide activity in the forearm vasculature of premenopausal women
TL;DR: Acute elevation of FBF in nonpregnant women is associated with enhanced responses to NO synthase inhibition, consistent with flow-mediated increased NO activity.
Flow-dependent regulation ofarteriolar diameter inrat skeletal muscleinsitu: roleofendothelium-derived relaxing factor andprostanoids
TL;DR: The findings suggest that basal release of endothelium‐derived relaxing factor (EDRF) and prostanoids leads to additive and independent dilator effects, and that flow‐dependent diameter changes are primarily mediated by EDRF.

Mechanism of Shear Stress-Induced Coronary Microvascular Dilation
Lih Kuo,Travis W. Hein +1 more
TL;DR: In this chapter, the involvement of cytoskeleton, integrin/focal adhesion proteins, protein kinases, membrane potassium channels and calcium mobilization in endothelial activation and vasodilation to elevated shear stress is discussed and the vasomotor regulation byShear stress in the coronary microcirculation is specially emphasized.

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.
