The processes of arterial remodeling involve regulation of vascular cell dynamics and control of matrix synthesis and degradation [ 1 ] . Endothelial cell (EC) proliferation is observed in flow-induced arterial dilation [ 2 ] and in vessel luminal expansion in mesenteric arterial collaterals in the rat [ 3 ] . Smooth muscle cells (SMC) have also been shown to proliferate in the vessel dilatation remodeling [ 3 ] . In the meantime, extracellular matrix (ECM) is involved in a variety of remodeling processes [ 4 5 6 7 8 9 ] including flow-induced arterial dilation [ 10 ] . These observations indicate that cell proliferation and ECM accumulation are critically involved in vessel remodeling.
After incubation, the EBM medium was then aspirated from the luminal chamber and 1.5 ml Evans Blue dye in DPBS/0.
Water permeability (P f , μm s -1) was then determined from the equation P f = J v /(A s V w δC osmol ) where A s = luminal surface area (π DL), V w = partial molar volume of water (18 ml/M), δC osmol = transepithelial osmolality gradient [ 18 ] . When the effect of TEA on water movement was examined, TEA bromide (10 mM) was added to the bathing medium and the NaCl concentration was reduced by 10 mM to maintain the osmolality constant.
This finding suggests that the underlying abnormality is present at the luminal side of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) complex and is due to an abnormality of the cerebral vessels since it is unlikely that α-galactosidase A crosses the BBB to any appreciable extent.
Based on this evidence, we postulate that the more viscous mucus layer in the ileal crypts of individuals with cystic fibrosis limits access of luminal bile acids and micelles to the ileal crypt cells.
