Adrenergic blockade alters skin blood flow responses to local cooling; leaves open translation to clinical thermoregulation or disease states.
What is the role of adrenergic nerve function in the cutaneous vascular response to changes in local skin temperature in the human forearm?
Adrenergic nerve function modulates the cutaneous vascular response to local temperature changes in human forearm skin, with presynaptic norepinephrine blockade altering the normal vasoconstrictive response to cooling.
