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

Arterial remodeling : relation to hemodynamics
TL;DR: The structure of the artery wall is exquisitely sensitive to the hemodynamic forces imposed on it by blood pressure and blood flow, and this sensitivity regulates growth and remodeling of arteries during development, and it regulates long-term adaptive restructuring of mature vessels.

Shear stress elevates endothelial cGMP. Role of a potassium channel and G protein coupling.
TL;DR: It is indicated that shear stress elevates endothelial cGMP via an NO-dependent mechanism and is mediated by a unique signal transduction pathway that is coupled to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein and that requires the activity of an endothelial potassium channel.

Longitudinal Gradients for Endothelium-Dependent and -Independent Vascular Responses in the Coronary Microcirculation
TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that a longitudinal gradient for shear stress- and agonist-induced dilation exists in the coronary microcirculation indicates that the pig coronary circulation exhibits a heterogeneity in physiological and pharmacological responses along the microvascular network.

Duplex ultrasound measurement of postprandial intestinal blood flow: effect of meal composition.
TL;DR: The study demonstrates that duplex ultrasound can provide a noninvasive means of studying the reactivity of the splanchnic arterial circulation to different stimuli and documents differing blood flow responses to variation of nutrients.

Endothelial modulation of coronary tone
Eberhard Bassenge,Rudi Busse +1 more
TL;DR: The regulatory function of this endothelium-derived relaxant factor under physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions is summarized and some biochemical properties of endothelial cells that may influence vascular homeostasis and vascular tone are briefly outlined.

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.
