Again, for a given change in flow,
GH and SHR-SP rats exhibit different
shear stress responses. GH rat vessels
are relatively more responsive to NTG
than SHR-SP vessels.
Relationships between flow and shear stress in RCA
(increased flow)
For a given change in flow, GH and
SHR-SP rats exhibit different shear
stress responses. GH rats are better
regulators of shear stress than SHR-SP.

Relationships between flow and outer diameter in
RCA (increased flow)
The slopes of the lines do not differ from control
(upper) for GH and SHR-SP in the presence of
NTG, indicating that the vascular structural changes
are not dependent on differences in vascular tone
GH rat outer diameters are markedly more sensitive
to flow than SHR-SP outer diameters
Carotid artery endothelial cells shown en face following immunostaining for eNOS.
After 28 days of increased blood flow, there was an increase in eNOS expression in GH
carotid arteries compared with carotid arteries exposed to control flow (compare b
with f). In SHR-SP carotid arteries, however, increased flow produced a relatively
attenuated increase in eNOS expression compared with corresponding controls
(compare d with e). Moreover, GH RCA express greater eNOS compared with SHR-SP
RCA following chronic flow increase (b vs. d).

After 28 days of increased blood flow, there was an increase in eNOS expression in GH carotid arteries compared with carotid arteries exposed to control flow (compare b with f). In SHR-SP carotid arteries, however, increased flow produced a relatively attenuated increase in eNOS expression compared with corresponding controls (compare d with e). Moreover, GH RCA express greater eNOS compared with SHR-SP RCA following chronic flow increase (b vs. d).
