No immediate clinical implications from rat arteriolar kinetics; leaves open metabolic mediation of rapid vasodilation in human exercise.
First- and third-order arterioles from rat gastrocnemius muscle show similar responsiveness to vasoactive agonists, supporting a role for metabolic signals in rapid onset vasodilation during exercise.
Roseguini et al. (2010) studied this question.
