Flow-induced vascular responses in LMAs from normotensive male and female Wistar rats. A, Graph showing flow-induced lumen diameter increase in LMAs from male and female Wistar rats (n=6/group). LMAs from male and female Wistar rats had similar lumen diameter increase as the flow rate increased., Graph showing reactivity of flow-induced vasodilation in LMAs from male and female Wistar rats. LMAs from male and female Wistar rats showed similar % reactivity increase as the flow rate increased. C, Graph showing flow-induced shear stress in LMAs from both male and female Wistar rats. LMAs from male and female Wistar rats had similar luminal shear stress increase as the flow rate increased. D, Representative tracings of flow-induced vasodilatory response of LMAs from male (upper) and female (lower tracing) Wistar rats. Scale bar = 3 min. Data were analyzed by unpaired t-test.
