When we get sheer stress when we begin to exercise, you have the release of some agonists like acetylcholine histamine bradykinin which signals the cell to produce nitric oxide. And as long as that enzyme which we call nitric oxide synthase is coupled and functional, then the endothelium can dilate the blood vessels with normal vascular function.
