Why the study?
Does oscillatory shear stress impair endothelial function in porcine carotid arteries compared to unidirectional shear stress?
Does oscillatory shear stress impair endothelial function in porcine carotid arteries compared to unidirectional shear stress?
Oscillatory shear stress directly induces endothelial dysfunction in native arterial tissue by downregulating eNOS expression and activation, supporting its role in early atherosclerosis.

May implicate oscillatory shear in early endothelial dysfunction; hypothesis-generating for human atherosclerosis.
Gambillara et al. (2006) studied this question.
