High Flow Boosts Connexin43 in Veins by Yesica Frontini is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the effect of high flow conditions on the expression of connexin43 (Cx43) in a rat arteriovenous loop model, finding that enhanced blood flow significantly increases Cx43 expression in the endothelium of venous grafts. This increase in Cx43 is likely due to enhanced transcription, as indicated by increased Cx43 mRNA levels, while other connexins showed different expression patterns. The findings suggest that the modulation of Cx43 expression may play a role in angiogenesis associated
