Cooling augments human saphenous vein reactivity to endogenously released norepinephrine via increased responsiveness of alpha 2-adrenoceptors, providing a potential mechanism for cold-induced vasospasm.

May implicate α2-adrenoceptors in cold-induced vasospasm; leaves open translation to human grafts or therapies.
Harker et al. (1994) studied this question.
