Abstract
An attempt was made to investigate the hypothesis that an important fraction of the uptake of macromolecules by the arterial wall occurs while the endothelium is adapting to changes in its hemodynamic environment. The investigation consisted of in vivo experiments in swine. Results are interpreted in terms of an ad hoc mathematical model of the hypothesized permeability response.
