Abstract:
A dynamic model is proposed for shear stress induced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release from endothelial cells (ECs). The dynamic behavior of the ATP/ADP concentration at the endothelial surface by viscous shear flow is investigated through simulation studies based on the dynamic ATP release model. The numerical results demonstrate that the ATP/ADP concentration against time at endothelium-fluid interface predicted by the dynamic ATP release model is more consistent with the experimental observations than that predicted by previous static ATP release model.
