Abstract
There is considerable evidence that hemodynamic factors may alter the arterial wall transport process and contribute to atherogenesis [1,2, 3]. The purpose of this presentation is to summarize some of our investigations on macromolecular uptake by the arterial wall as affected by oscillatory mechanical disturbance and pressure variations and on the regional variation of uptake in relation to ultrastructure and hemodynamics.
