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: ...

Endothelial function has been generally assessed by measuring vasomotion of conduit vessels or regional increases in blood flow, reflecting microvascular/resistance ...

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 ...
