In piglets in vivo , acute hypoxia caused decreased exhaled NO and decreased aortic and pulmonary arterial plasma nitrite levels [ 41].
Clinical and epidemiological studies strongly suggest the association of CMV infection in the progression of numerous vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis [ 16 17 18 19 20 ] , rapidly progressive coronary artery disease, endothelialitis in heart transplant recipients [ 21 22 23 24 ] , coronary restenosis [ 25 26 ] , and inflammatory aortic disease [ 27 28 ] as well as SSc [ 11 12 ] .

The regulation of lumenal diameter in large arteries is accomplished through the maintenance of shear stress along the arterial wall [ 38 50 51 52 53 54 ] .
