Distribution of Cytoskeletal Components in Endothelial Cells in the Guinea Pig Renal Artery

The cytoskeletal components of endothelial cells in the renal artery were examined by analysis of en face preparations under confocal laser scanning microscopy. Renal arterial endothelial cells were shown to be elongated along the direction of blood flow, while stress fibers ran perpendicular to the...
