Demonstrates conducted vasodilation in striated muscle hyperemia; hypothesis-generating for human microvascular regulation.
Local coupling between capillary flow and muscle contraction in striated muscle involves conducted vasodilation that causes remote upstream arteriolar dilation.
Berg et al. (1997) studied this question.
