Effects of the medium pulse flow with extended perfusion at frequency of 2Hz on the gene expression by distal PMVECs were compared to those of the steady flow. The flow perfusion time was extended to 6 hours. Both of the flow conditions had the same mean flow rate with shear stress at 14 dynes/cm2 and the same perfusion time. The mRNA expression was detected using real-time RT-PCR and expressed as fold change relative to the static condition. Data represent mean ± SEM. ‘*’: significantly different from the steady flow (P ≤ 0.05).
