Short-term Arctic exposure may impair cold-induced vasodilation in military personnel; hypothesis-generating for general rather than peripheral acclimation.
Does a 2-week Arctic cold exposure alter cold-induced vasodilation in military personnel?
Short-term severe cold exposure has a deleterious effect on cold-induced vasodilation, suggesting it produces general rather than peripheral acclimation.
S. D. Livingstone (1976) studied this question.
