Blood Pressure Normalization Via Pharmacotherapy Improves Cutaneous Microvascular Function Through NO-Dependent And NO-Independent Mechanisms |
2017 |
289 |
Hypertension is associated with endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling. Objective: To assess effects of antihypertensive pharmacotherapy on eNOS-and iNOS-dependent mechanisms and maximal vasodilator capacity in the cutaneous microvasculature... |
Body Mapping Of Sweating Patterns In Athletes: A Sex Comparison |
2012 |
2132 |
Purpose: Limited regional sweat rate (RSR) data are available for females, with only a small number of sites measured across the body. Similarly, sex differences in sweating concentrate on whole body values, with limited RSR data available. Methods: ... |
Body Mapping Of Sweating Patterns In Male Athletes In Mild Exercise-Induced Hyperthermia |
2011 |
2582 |
Regional variation in sweating over the body is widely recognised. However, most studies only measured a limited number of regions, with the use of differing thermal states across studies making a good meta-analysis to obtain a whole body map problem... |
Design Data For Footwear: Sweating Distribution On The Human Foot |
2013 |
1959 |
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide footwear designers, manikin builders and thermo-physiological modellers with sweat distribution information for the human foot. Design/methodology/approach – Independent research from two laboratories... |
Effects Of Resistance Exercise Timing On Sleep Architecture And Nocturnal Blood Pressure |
2015 |
972 |
Short sleep duration and poor quality of sleep have been associated with health risks including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Prior research has suggested that regular aerobic exercise improves the quality of sleep; however, less is ... |
Effects Of Vehicle Microdialysis Solutions On Cutaneous Vascular Responses To Local Heating |
2017 |
1007 |
Microdialysis is a minimally invasive technique often paired with laser Doppler flowmetry to examine cutaneous microvascular function, yet presents with several challenges, including incompatibility with perfusion of highly lipophilic compounds. The ... |
Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Mediates Cutaneous Vasodilation During Local Heating And Is Attenuated In Middle-Aged Human Skin |
2012 |
230 |
Local skin heating is used to assess microvascular function in clinical populations because NO is required for full expression of the response; however, controversy exists as to the precise NO synthase (NOS) isoform producing NO. Human aging is assoc... |
Local Tetrahydrobiopterin Administration Augments Reflex Cutaneous Vasodilation Through Nitric Oxide-Dependent Mechanisms In Aged Human Skin |
2012 |
269 |
Functional constitutive nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is required for full expression of reflex cutaneous vasodilation that is attenuated in aged skin. Both the essential cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) and adequate substrate concentrations are nece... |
Male And Female Upper Body Sweat Distribution During Running Measured With Technical Absorbents |
2007 |
946 |
Body sweat distribution over the upper body in nine clothed male and female runners of equal fitness while running at 65% VO2max and subsequent 15-min rest in a moderate climate (25°C, 53% rh) was investigated using technical absorbent materials to c... |
Non-Uniform, Age-Related Decrements In Regional Sweating And Skin Blood Flow |
2013 |
1276 |
Aging is associated with attenuated thermoregulatory function that varies regionally over the body. Decrements in vasodilation and sweating are well documented with age, yet limited data are available concerning the regional relation between these re... |
Regional Relation Between Skin Blood Flow And Sweating To Passive Heating And Local Administration Of Acetylcholine In Young, Healthy Humans |
2013 |
1222 |
Regional variation in sweating over the human body is widely recognized yet variation in vasomotor responses and mechanisms causing this variation remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the relation between regional sweating rates (RSR) and skin... |
Responses To Hyperthermia. Optimizing Heat Dissipation By Convection And Evaporation: Neural Control Of Skin Blood Flow And Sweating In Humans |
2016 |
4089 |
Under normothermic, resting conditions, humans dissipate heat from the body at a rate approximately equal to heat production. Small discrepancies between heat production and heat elimination would, over time, lead to significant changes in heat stora... |
Rho-Kinase Activity And Cutaneous Vasoconstriction Is Upregulated In Essential Hypertensive Humans |
2013 |
1358 |
Essential hypertension (HT) is associated with endothelial dysfunction augmented vasoconstriction (VC) which may be secondary to increased Rho/Rho-Kinase (ROCK)-dependent mechanisms. Our aim was to assess the in vivo magnitude of cutaneous VC to loca... |
Upregulation Of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Contributes To Attenuated Cutaneous Vasodilation In Essential Hypertensive Humans |
2011 |
1204 |
Essential hypertension is a proinflammatory, proconstrictor disease coinciding with endothelial dysfunction and inward vessel remodeling. Using the skin circulation, our aim was to determine whether inducible NO synthase (iNOS) upregulation attenuate... |
