Methods. Microvascular function,(forearm reactive hyperemia), macrovascular function
(brachial artery flow-mediated dilation), and the maximal vasodilatory response following …

The effect of severe burn injury on vascular health is unknown. We tested the hypothesis
that, compared with nonburn control subjects, vasodilator function would be reduced and …

Post-exercise related time course of muscle oxygenation during recovery provides valuable
information on peripheral vascular disease. The purpose of the present study was to …

Long-term rehabilitative strategies are important for individuals with well-healed burn
injuries. Such information is particularly critical because patients are routinely surviving …

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a primary cause of poor outcomes following ischemic
cardiovascular events. We tested whether acute hot water immersion protects against …

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury can attenuate endothelial function and impair nitric oxide
bioavailability. We tested the hypothesis that I/R also blunts the rapid and steady-state …

New Finding What is the central question of this study? This study sought to determine
whether prior upper limb aerobic training can attenuate the vascular dysfunction resulting …

Regular physical activity leads to increased endothelium-dependent vasodilatation.
Postocclusive reactive hyperemia (PRH) is a transient increase of blood flow after the …

Ischemia and reperfusion in skeletal muscle is associated with increases in total vascular
resistance (Rt) and the microvascular permeability to plasma proteins. To determine whether …

Background Few studies have examined the time-course of localized exercise training on
regional blood flow in humans. The study examined the influence of handgrip exercise …
