The endothelial barrier plays an important role in atherosclerosis,
hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia. In the present study, an accurate,
reproducible, and user-friendly method was used to further understand endothelial
barrier function of conduit arteries. An isovolumic method was used to measure
the hydraulic conductivity (L(p)) of the intact vessel wall and
medial-adventitial layer. Normal arterial segments with diameters from 0.2 to 5.5
mm were used to validate the method, and femoral arteries of diabetic rats were
studied as an example of pathological specimens. Various arterial segments
confirmed that the volume flux of water per unit surface area was linearly
related to intraluminal pressure, as confirmed in microvessels. L(p) of the
intact wall varied from 3.5 to 22.1 × 10(-7) cm·s(-1)·cmH(2)O(-1) over the
pressure range of 7-180 mmHg. Over the same pressure range, L(p) of the
endothelial barrier changed from 4.4 to 25.1 × 10(-7) cm·s(-1)·cmH(2)O(-1).
During perfusion with albumin-free solution, L(p) of rat femoral arteries
increased from 6.1 to 13.2 × 10(-7) cm·s(-1)·cmH(2)O(-1) over the pressure range
of 10-180 mmHg. Hyperglycemia increased L(p) of the femoral artery in diabetic
rats from 2.9 to 5.5 × 10(-7) cm·s(-1)·cmH(2)O(-1) over the pressure range of
20-135 mmHg. In conclusion, the L(p) of a conduit artery can be accurately and
reproducibly measured using a novel isovolumic method, which in diabetic rats is
hyperpermeable. This is likely due to disruption of the endothelial glycocalyx.
