Skin blood flow is regulated by a complex system of active vasoconstriction and vasodilatation mechanisms. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the regional skin temperature response ...

The effects of chocolate on cardiovascular health are still a matter of debate. Chocolate may adversely affect cardiovascular risk because of its effects on glucose, lipids, and body weight or ...

Exposure to CAPs with ozone or dilute diesel exhaust leads to acute vasoconstriction of the brachial artery in both healthy volunteers and patients with metabolic syndrome, [34–36] as well as an ...

BACKGROUND: National studies on reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) point to differences between Asian and European patients. We investigated geographic variations in neurological ...

Objective: To test the hypothesis that enhanced postexercise vasodilatation is related to sympathetic drive to resistance vessels and to fast marathon performance. Design: Prospective field study ...

Hypothyroidism and T3 deficiency are associated with peripheral vasoconstriction. [17] DII was identified in cultured human coronary and aortic arterial smooth muscle cells.

Vasodilatation at the basal and apical part of the blood vessels was present in a mild degree of expression (Fig. 1F). Lamellar lifting, edema and filamentous epithelial proliferation are ...

Braz J Med Biol Res, May 2010, Volume 43 (5) 492-499 Acute lead-induced vasoconstriction in the vascular beds of isolated perfused rat tails is endothelium-dependent E.A. Silveira 1, J.H.F. Lizardo 1, ...

Hydrogen sulphide’s role in blood vessels following a heart attack A novel mechanism of coronary hypoxic vasodilatation involving hydrogen sulphide Dr Vera Ralevic (lead researcher) University of ...

After the Union Ministry of Power indicated that it was considering restricting the temperature range of new air conditioners, here’s a look at what goes behind this decision, and if there is an ...

But when you expose your muscles to cold right after a workout, the blood vessels tighten—a reaction called vasoconstriction—which limits how much of those nutrients get through.
