The results confirm that TGF must remain intact in order to achieve efficient autoregulation, although a TGF-independent mechanism also contributes to the response.

J Clin Invest 1995, 95:2741-2748. Using an adaptation of the isolated perfused vessel technique, these investigators studied contractile behaviour of afferent arteriolar pairs branching from the same terminal interlobular artery. The data indicate that flow-stimulated endothelium-derived nitric oxide production partly abates the afferent arteriolar myogenic response.

Histochemical and in-situ hybridization techniques were exploited to localize NOS mRNA, protein, and activity in renal vascular and tubular structures. The data indicate that neuronal NOS (NOS 1) is present in the efferent arteriolar endothelium, as well as in macula densa cells, whereas endothelial NOS (NOS III) is distributed in endothelial cells of afferent and efferent arterioles.

This review article focuses on integrative vascular mechanisms that control blood flow to skeletal muscle. The interplay of signals originating from endothelial and VSM cells determines segmental tone, whereas longitudinal propagation through gap junctional cell couplings permits coordinated activity between successive vascular segments. The author performed seminal studies of conducted vasomotor responses in skeletal muscle.

Homocellular and heterocellular coupling between individual endothelial and VSM cells is demonstrated in single arterioles of the hamster cheek pouch. This study exploits the three-dimensional resolution afforded by confocal microscopy, in combination with intracellular injections of fluorescent dyes with varying size and charge characteristics.

The concept of generalized afferent arteriolar pairing among nephrons is proposed, based on microscopic observation of microdissected preglomerular vascular trees. The non-random distribution of renin-containing cells along afferent arteriolar pairs suggests coupling of endocrine function.

A brilliant, in-depth analysis of mechanisms contributing to renal autoregulation and their interactions from a dynamic standpoint. This approach was pioneered by the authors and incorporates into the analysis the fluctuations of arterial pressure that occur over multiple frequencies, therefore providing a crucial extension from the classic, steady-state approach to the problem.
