Time-Related Alteration in Flow- (Shear Stress-) Mediated Remodeling in Resistance Arteries from Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
Figure 8
Percentage of increase of acetylcholine-mediated relaxation by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase determined in mesenteric resistance arteries isolated from WKY rats and SHRs submitted to low flow (LF), high flow (HF), or normal flow (NF) for 1, 3, 8, or 24 weeks. Values represent mean ± SEM ( rats per group). , HF or LF versus NF arteries. , SHRs versus WKY rats, within equivalent arteries (NF, LF, or HF).
