The gender difference in the mechanisms that control glomerular hemodynamics.

We found neither gender difference in the control mechanisms of glomerular hemodynamics nor in the vascular reactivity of renal arterioles. In addition, at least under our experimental conditions any sexual hormone did not exert significant vascular actions on renal arterioles. .In the present study, we could not establish but somewhat develop an experimental system to study the possible gender differences in renal medullary blood flow. We also tried to develop a culture system of vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells of renal arterioles to study the detail cellular mechanisms underlying the physiological and/or pathophysiological glomerular hemodynamics.
