Pressure-induced early response gene expression in isolated small arteries is driven by wall stress rather than cell stretch, which may explain why myogenic constriction protects arterioles from hypertrophy in hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform arteriolar protection mechanisms in hypertension; leaves open translation to human remodeling or therapy.
Allen et al. (1997) studied this question.
