Does intradermal microdialysis of hypertonic saline attenuate cutaneous vasodilatation in response to local heating in healthy subjects?
Intradermal hypertonic saline attenuates cutaneous vasodilatation in response to local heating, likely through decreased nitric oxide availability.
DuPont et al. (2011) studied this question.
