BACKGROUND: It has been shown that increases in intraluminal flow elicit dilation in venules, but the mediation of response is not yet clarified. We hypothesized that - in addition to nitric oxide (NO) and dilator prostaglandins (PGI(2)/ PGE(2)) - thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)) contributes to the mediation of flow-induced responses of venules. METHODS AND RESULTS: Isolated rat gracilis muscle venules (259 +/- 11 microm at 10 mm Hg) dilated as a function of intraluminal flow, which was augmented i...
