Aspects of autoregulation: the effects of mitogen-activated protein kinase and gap junction communication inhibition on myogenic tone

Autoregulation of blood flow in small arteries and arterioles is a combination of myogenic, neural, humoral and metabolic effects. The interaction between these effects allows capillary blood flow to remain relatively constant in spite of changes in blood pressure. And, myogenic or pressure-induc...
