Why the study?
Does mechanical removal of the endothelium alter the hydraulic conductivity of the rabbit aorta?
Does mechanical removal of the endothelium alter the hydraulic conductivity of the rabbit aorta?
The aortic endothelium accounts for approximately half of the total transmural pressure drop, highlighting its significant role in arterial wall hydraulic resistance.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Endothelium accounts for half the aortic transmural resistance in rabbits; leaves open its role in human vascular disease models.
Vargas et al. (1979) studied this question.
