Why the study?
Do different dynamic flow conditions modulate the production of nitric oxide and endothelin-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells?
Do different dynamic flow conditions modulate the production of nitric oxide and endothelin-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells?
Laminar flow, but not turbulent flow, upregulates nitric oxide synthesis in endothelial cells, demonstrating how local hemodynamics modulate vascular tone and nonthrombogenicity.
