Blood flow in the arterial limb of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and in the carotid artery of sham-operated mice (sham), and calculated vascular resistance 2 wk after the creation of the AVF. Arterial flow was measured using a perivascular flow probe (A) and vascular resistance (B) was calculated from measured values of blood flow and mean arterial pressure; n = 5 in each group. *P < 0.05 vs. sham.
