OBJECTIVE: The present study was undertaken to assess in pre- and postmenopausal women whether obesity influences cutaneous reactive hyperemia in the forearm. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. RESULTS: ...

Reactive hyperemia (RH) in the forearm circulation is an important marker of cardiovascular health, yet the underlying vasodilator signaling pathways are controversial and thus remain unclear. With ...

Background: Ultrafine particles (UFP) may contribute to the cardiovascular effects of exposure to participate air pollution, partly because of their relatively efficient alveolar deposition and ...
