FIGURE 1.
Calcium fluorescence data from Hong et al.22 obtained with bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) (A, B) and rat adrenomedulary endothelial cells (ECs) derived from capillary endothelium (C, D). Synchronous Ca2+ responses with similar shear stress–dependent peak values were observed with BAECs, but heterogeneous Ca2+ responses were observed (C) with rat adrenomedulary ECs, although some cells had a synchronized response delayed in time after an increase in shear stress (D). Modified from Figs. 1 and 2 in Hong et al.22, with permission from the American Journal of Physiology.
