Muscle temperature effects on renal hemodynamics during exercise warrant clinical investigation; leaves open relevance for patients with cardiovascular disease.
Does heating or cooling forearm muscles alter renal vascular responses to ischemic isometric handgrip?
Changes in muscle temperature significantly modulate renal vascular responses to exercise, with heating augmenting mechanoreceptor-mediated vasoconstriction and cooling blunting metaboreceptor-mediated vasoconstriction.
Kuipers et al. (2007) studied this question.
