Antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism increases the contribution of Rho-kinase to contractile responses of mesenteric and skeletal muscle arteries in adult rats.

abstract：:In artificial tubes as well as in blood vessels with diameters less than 500 microns, blood viscosity decreases with decreasing diameter (Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect).
