Here, we test the hypothesis that diminished vasoactive capacity compromises effective mechano-adaptations of central arteries. Toward this end, we use consistent methods to re-interpret published data on common carotid artery remodeling in a nonpharmacologic mouse model of induced hypertension and a model of connective tissue disorder that results in Marfan syndrome. The mice have identical genetic backgrounds and, in both cases, the data are consistent with the hypothesis considered. In particular, carotid arteries with strong (normal) vasoactive capacity tend to maintain wall thickness and in vivo axial stretch closer to homeostatic, thus resulting in passive circumferential wall stress and energy storage close to normal. We conclude that effective vasoactivity helps to control the biomechanical state in which the cells and matrix turnover, thus helping to delineate mechano-adaptive from maladaptive remodeling. Future analyses of experimental data and computational models of growth and remodeling should account for this strong coupling between smooth muscle contractile capacity and central arterial remodeling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4052888","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]],"date-time":"2021-11-03T03:53:39Z","timestamp":1635911619000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Reduced Smooth Muscle Contractile Capacity Facilitates Maladaptive Arterial Remodeling"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"144","author":[{"given":"John F.","family":"Eberth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, Biomedical Engineering Program, University of South Carolina , Columbia, SC 29208"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jay D.","family":"Humphrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Yale University , New Haven, CT 06520"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2022121501101323800_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1042\/CS20060337","article-title":"Arterial Adaptations to Chronic Changes in Haemodynamic Function: Coupling Vasomotor Tone to Structural Remodelling","volume":"113","year":"2007","journal-title":"Clin.
