The PT3 can be viewed as placentae exhibiting advanced aging, capable of compensating demands of the growing fetus only by extreme dilatation of villous blood sinusoids.
Finally, in PT4, Thy-1 expression in terminal villi is very low, but this is not accompanied by dilatation of villous sinusoids.
The mechanical and biochemical mechanisms of flow or shear-regulated arterial dilatation and the vessel remodeling have been widely studied [ 35 ] . Vessel wall shear stress exerted by blood flow is a regulating mechanical force on endothelial cells that has important physiological and pathological cardiovascular consequences.
Several growth factors, in particular TGF-β, have been shown to be involved in vessel wall remodeling with respect to both cellular proliferation and ECM accumulation [ 12 13 14 15 ] . Cell apoptosis has been shown to play a role in various remodeling processes [ 1 ] , including hypertension-induced remodeling [ 6 ] and subnormal shear stress induced endothelial cell apoptosis [ 16 ] . Interestingly, TGF-β super family has been related to apoptosis in vascular cells [ 17 ] . However, whether flow-induced arterial dilatation may also associated with apoptosis and how it might be coordinated with cell proliferation in a large elastic artery remain unclear.
The furazolidone-induced turkey model is a well characterizedexperimental model of dilated cardiomyopathy with features verysimilar to those found in human heart failure [ 19 20 21 22 ] .Decreased contractile function (reduced fractional shortening ofthe left ventricle) and morphological changes (increased heart volumes,left ventricular dilatation, and myocyte hypertrophy) are characteristic featuresof this model [ 21 22 ] .
