Previous studies have demonstrated that pregnancy prevents protective hypertension-induced remodeling of cerebral arteries using nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition to raise mean arterial pressure (MAP). In the present study, we investigated wheth

We investigated how hypertension during pregnancy affected passive structural (wall:lumen, wall stress) and active (myogenic activity) responses of the cerebral circulation. Female nonpregnant (NP; n=8) Sprague Dawley rats were compared with late-pre

To investigate the effect of estrogen therapy on the structural and functional properties of the middle cerebral artery during ischemia and reperfusion.Ovariectomized (OVX; n = 8) and ovariectomized with estrogen therapy (OVX+EST; n = 8) female Sprag

We investigated the functional heterogeneity of cerebral pial arteries that are extrinsically innervated versus penetrating brain parenchymal arterioles (PA) that are intrinsically innervated by comparing myogenic activity and reactivity to neurotran

Eclampsia is thought to be similar to hypertensive encephalopathy, whereby acute elevations in intravascular pressure cause forced dilatation (FD) of intrinsic myogenic tone of cerebral arteries and arterioles, decreased cerebrovascular resistance, a

Under pathologic conditions, including ischemia and reperfusion, VEGF has been shown to mediate edema formation and contribute to brain injury. In the present study, we compared both cerebral endot...

Background and Purpose— This study investigated the effect of peroxynitrite (ONOO − ) on pressure-induced myogenic activity and vascular smooth muscle (VSM) actin of isolated posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs). Methods— Histochemical staining o

The authors investigated the influence of pregnancy on cerebral endothelial cell permeability in response to an acute elevation in intravascular pressure that caused forced dilatation of myogenic tone. Third-order branches of the posterior cerebral a

The inner diameter and wall thickness of rat middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) were measured in vitro in both a pressure-induced, myogenically-active state and a drug-induced, passive state to quantify active and passive mechanical behavior. Elasticity

It is well-known that ischemia causes disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which leads to the formation of vasogenic brain edema. One major mechanism of BBB opening is enhanced pinocytotic vesicle formation that may be induced after transient
