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 ] . As blood flow through an artery increases, shear is also increased, and the endothelium releases nitric oxide for vasodilation [ 55 ] . Chronically, the arterial wall will remodel to a larger diameter to accommodate the increased flow [ 38 ] . While we did not measure arterial flow through these iron deficient arteries, the enhanced inotropic compensation to iron deficiency, combined with the enlarged aortic diameter, leads us to suspect a flow dependent mechanism for remodeling.
