The Bayliss effect. (A) Increasing pressure in certain blood vessels causes vasoconstriction, a phenomenon known as the Bayliss effect. (B) The Bayliss is mediated by the smooth muscle layer, independent of the inner layer of endothelial cells. (C) Proposed mechanism for stretch-induced activation of TRPC6 in vascular smooth muscle membranes.
