Sympathetic-like axon reflexes drive the initial increase in blood flow of the biphasic cutaneous vasodilation response of non-glabrous skin to local heating. It is currently unknown whether this process is involved in the...
INTRODUCTION: Cold limb immersion, a form of cryotherapy, can cause cardiovascu-lar changes due to cold-pain induced autonomic reflex. OBJECTIVE: This cryotherapy treatment side-effect has received less attention, and could...
Human skin blood flow (SkBF) and sweating increase similarly during increases in skin sympathetic nerve activity, implicating common control and regulation. Previous studies have blocked sweating without affecting SkBF, but few...
In humans, skin blood flow (SkBF) and sweating are tightly coupled, suggesting common neural control and regulation. This study was designed to separate these two sympathetic nervous system end-organ responses via...
Introduction: In 2012, approximately 19 million adults in the U.S. used some form of manipulative treatment as part of their overall healthcare. Suboccipital release (SOR) is a commonly used manual medicine technique of the...
Previous research indicates that sympathetic outflow to the face may be altered in rosacea (Metzler-Wilson & Toma, et al, J Neurophysiol, 2015). To identify if control and regulatory mechanisms of skin blood flow (SkBF) are...
Cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) is a phenomenon involving a counterintuitive increase in skin blood flow during cold exposure. Although CIVD was first described in 1930, CIVD mechanisms remain unknown. CIVD research has...
Bradykinin, a local dermal kallikrein-kinin system product, increases skin blood flow via a cyclic GMP mechanism but is not the active cutaneous vasodilation molecule associated with cholinergic stimulation. However, the...
