These authors demonstrated that retrograde shear rate dose-dependently reduces flow-mediated dilation. These in vivo human data corroborate a substantial body of in vitro research demonstrating that retrograde and oscillatory shear stress signals are deleterious to the endothelium.

This study demonstrated that experimentally blocking the shear rate stimulus induced by forearm heating, handgrip exercise, and recumbent cycling prevents the acute augmentation of flow-mediated dilation induced by these maneuvers.

Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2009; 297: H1103-8. In this study, we employed an arm hanging model to mimic the hemodynamic milieu present in the lower limbs while seated. Because making the arm "look like" the leg resulted in blunted endothelium-dependent vasodilation at the brachial artery, this study suggests that, when a "healthy" vessel is abruptly exposed to proatherogenic shear rate patterns, the endothelium becomes compromised.

In this study in our laboratory we observed reduced mean and antegrade shear and increased retrograde and oscillatory shear in the femoral arteries at rest in older compared to younger adults, suggesting that altered hemodynamic patterns may contribute to the age-associated increase in risk of atherosclerosis in lower limb conduit vessels.

This study demonstrated that reduced NO bioavailability in the resistance vessels contributes to age-related discrepancies in resting shear patterns, potentially identifying a mechanism for increased risk of atherosclerotic disease in conduit arteries.
