Mice were sacrificed and second/third order mesenteric arteries were isolated and perfused with Tyrode buffer at a longitudinal pressure gradient of 20 mm Hg (70–110 mmHg at the inflow and 50–90 mmHg at the outflow) with a resulting flow of ~0.07 mL/min. Arteries which showed no myogenic response were excluded from the analyses. Pressure-induced changes in vessel diameter were measured using the VediView software (DMT, Copenhagen, Denmark).
