In contrast, inspiratory resistive loading by tracheal narrowing has consistently shown increases in the percentage of type I fibers and the corresponding MHC isoform in the diaphragm [ 41 42 43 ] , closely resembling the changes seen in severe human emphysema.
The importance of this analogy is that the plateau response is dependent on both the system's resistive and capacitative components.
It remains to be determined whether the relatively bigger amount of caldesmon and TM-α is advantageous for the artery in fulfilling resistive functions, and whether more TM-β is a prerequisite for veins to fulfill capacitative functions in the mesenteric circulation.
Reduced ΔCBF res would be expected when the resistive component is increased reducing the amplitude of the acetazolamide induced plateau response.
Differences in smooth muscle layer thickness, however, do not always satisfactorily explain why in some instances, including stimulation of postganglionic nerve terminals, veins are more responsive than corresponding arteries [ 3 4 5 6 ] . Although differences in the type and amount of neurotransmitters, receptor density and/or sensitivity for neurotransmitter action, or signal transduction mechanisms that couple membrane receptors to the contractile elements have been proposed to underlie the functional distinctions between capacitative and resistive regions of the mesenteric circulation, the possibility that mesenteric artery and vein convey distinct expression levels of contractile proteins has not been ruled out.
