Both techniques allow simultaneous measurements of vessel tone and a variety of parameters (e.g., membrane potential and intracellular ion activities) and thus allow precise determination of the relation between small artery structure and function. The vessels appear to remain fully viable with regard...

Endothelial dysfunction is a predictive risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death worldwide [1]. Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is the slow progressive accumulation of fatty plaque in the artery wall, causing narrow...
the elastic internal lamina that lies between the intima and media in the arteries. The tunica adventitia of the arteries are much thicker than that of the veins so that the artery can withstand the high pressure blood. The artery walls can be so thick that it may need its own blood ...
