  1. Vmax, maximum velocity of carotid artery; Ds, end-systolic diameters of carotid artery; SS, shear stress of carotid artery, SS = 4 µVmax/Ds; μ, blood viscosity of mice; undist, undisturbed shear stress; low, low shear stress. Data are means ± SD. aP < 0.05 comparing low with undisturbed by paired Student t test.
