The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the content of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein (eNOS protein/g total artery protein) increases with decreasing artery diameter in the coronary arterial tree. Content of eNOS protein was determined in porcine coronary arteries with immunoblot analysis. Arteries were isolated in six size categories from each heart: large arteries [301- to 2,500-mum internal diameter (ID)], small arteries (201- to 300-mum ID), resistance arteries (151- to 200-mum ID), large arterioles (101- to 150-mum ID), intermediate arterioles (51- to 100-mum ID), and small arterioles(
