One hundred microliters of saline solution was infused into the jugular vein catheter, and the cardiovascular response was recorded via the carotid pressure transducer until pressure stabilized near its baseline value.
Conflicting results have been reported from studies on the stroke risk factor status of genes related to myocardial infarction or arterial disease, such as specific genotypes of the genes for angiotensin 1-converting enzyme ( ACE ) [ 23 24 25 26 ] or apolipoprotein [ 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ] . Potential confounding factors include the effects of comorbidity and differential mortality rates [ 34 35 ] . Although the degree of stenosis of the cervical internal carotid arteries in symptomatic patients correlates with risk of ipsilateral stroke [ 36 ] , no clear conclusions can be drawn from attempts to relate carotid artery disease to specific genotypes (for example, of the paraoxonase gene PON, which is thought to protect low-density lipoprotein against oxidative modification [ 37 ] , or of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene [ 38 ] ).
The internal elastic lamella of arteries is shown to form gaps prior to vessel dilatation in an experimental arteriovenous model in rabbit carotid artery [ 2 ] . Collagenase and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been observed to be upregulated during vessel dilation either in flow-induced model [ 10 ] or in a post-stenotic dilatation [ 11 ] .
5°C heat pretreatment of swine carotid artery increased ser 16-HSP20 phosphorylation and suppressed force, i.e., a reduction in force without a significant reduction in MRLC phosphorylation.
Cyclic nucleotide induced relaxation is associated with phosphorylation of heat shock protein 20 (also known as HSP20 or P20) on serine 16 [ 10 11 12 ] . More recently, ser 16-HSP20 phosphorylation was shown to specifically and temporally correlate with "force suppression" rather than the "deactivation" form of relaxation [ 8 10 ] . A region of HSP20 (residues 110-121) has sequence homology with troponin I; peptides from this region bound thin filaments, reduced actin activated myosin S1 ATPase activity, and relaxed skinned swine carotid artery [ 10 ] . We hypothesized that binding of ser 16-phosphorylated HSP20 to the thin filament may "turn off" thin filaments so that phosphorylated myosin does not interact with the thin filament (i.e.
