1. The mechanisms of vascular adaptation to pregnancy remain to be fully elucidated. In this study we have compared flow-induced dilatation and myogenic responses in fifth generation mesenteric arteries from late pregnant and non-pregnant Wistar rats.2. Myogenic tone, assessed as the difference between internal diameter (i.d.) in the presence and absence of external calcium, at each of six transmural pressure steps (40-90 mmHg) was no different in arteries from pregnant and non-pregnant animals (90 mmHg; pregnant animals, 20.5 +/- 3.2% change in i.d., n = 13; non-pregnant animals, 14.4 +/- 4.4% change in i.d., n = 13; n.s.).3. Flow-induced dilatation was significantly increased in arteries from pregnant-animals when compared with that in non-pregnant animals (pregnant, 11.2 +/- 3.7% increase in i.d n = 12; non-pregnant, 1.2 +/- 1.0%, n = 8; P
