Abstract
Nitric oxide scavenging by erythrocytes has a high impact on arteriolar nitric oxide concentration and autoregulatory response. Nitric oxide measurements in endothelial cells of the afferent arteriole showed that increased perfusion pressure/shear stress increased nitric oxide release, while simultaneously endothelial cell calcium concentration decreased, possibly indicating a feedback control of this calcium by nitric oxide release.
