Published in Blood Weekly, September 21st, 2006

Cutaneous vasoconstriction with slow local cooling (LC) is due to a combination of increased noradrenaline release and decreased activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS).

"Cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) declines in response to LC. Previous work indicates that at least part of the vasoconstrictor response to LC may be through an inhibitory effect on NOS activity. In this study we further tested that notion," researchers in the United States report.

"A total of eight (6 male, 2 female) subjects participated (Part 1 n=7; Part 2 n=5, 4 of whom participated in Part 1). Skin blood flow was monitored by laser-Doppler flowmetry. Control of local skin...
