- Abstract:
-
We aimed to test the hypothesis that an enhanced level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is primarily responsible for the impairment of nitric oxide (NO)-mediated regulation of arteriolar wall shear stress (WSS) in hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). Thus flow/WSS-induced dilations of pressurized gracilis muscle arterioles (basal diameter: approximately 170 microm) isolated from control (serum Hcy: 6 +/- 1 microM), methionine diet-induced HHcy rats (4 wk, serum Hcy: 30 +/- 6 microM), and HHcy rats tr...
