Intrinsic microvascular changes induced by repeated increases in core temperature are dependent upon both skin blood flow and skin temperature.
Hypothesis-generating for temperature-dependent microvascular adaptations; extends mechanistic insights but requires clinical validation before practice consideration.
Our results indicate that repeated increases in SkBF and skin temperature result in increased skin flux responses to local heating, whereas repeated increases in SkBF in the absence of change in skin temperature induced the opposite response. Repeated increases in Tc induce intrinsic microvascular changes, the nature of which are dependent upon both SkBF and skin temperature.
