Effects of acute and chronic exercise on forearm blood flow in patients with chronic heart failure
… function, which may lead to reduced peripheral blood flow, deconditioning and skeletal muscle atrophy. Initially, a study of the biological and technical reliability of the techniques used in the latter chapters was conducted. Reliability of these techniques has not previously been documented in …

The effects of graduated exercise at the piano on the pianist's cardiac output, forearm blood flow, heart rate, and blood pressure
… at the piano on the pianist's cardiac output, forearm blood flow, heart rate, and blood pressure. Also considered were the effects of piano practice conditioning, general cardiovascular conditioning, and acute cigarette smoking on the aforementioned parameters during and after graduated piano …

The Impact of Mental Challenge on Indicators of Endothelial Function in Obese Individuals
… to compare the effects of mental challenge on forearm blood flow, total antioxidant capacity (a measure of oxidative stress), the release of norepinephrine (NE; stress induced neurotransmitter), and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses [both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated TNF-α and IL-6 …

Cerebrovascular and Ventilatory Function in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
… is unclear. Furthermore, the role that cerebral blood flow contributes to respiratory disturbances is poorly understood. Recent studies have demonstrated peripheral vascular impairments in COPD, which may have further implications for exercise –hyperemia. Oxidative stress serves as a plausible …

The Cardiovascular Effect of GLP-1 in Humans
… in coronary arteries using invasive pressure and flow assessments during cardiac catherisation. I also evaluated transmyocardial extraction of GLP-1 and mapped the distribution of the GLP-1 receptor in the human cardiovascular system using immunohistochemistry with an extensively validated …

The Effect of Ischemic Preconditioning on Rock Climbing Performance
… contractions of the finger flexors, limiting forearm blood flow and causing ischemia-induced fatigue. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been shown to improve time to failure (TTF) during climbing-specific tasks, though its mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the …

Effects of opioid antagonism on thermoregulation during prolonged exercise in the heat
… (P<.001) higher on naloxone versus saline. Forearm blood flow (FBF) was consistently higher from minute 25 of exercise until test termination, although only the minute 25 and minute 55 data points were significantly elevated (P<.05, P<.005, respectively) . The rectal temperature threshold at …

Ultraviolet a irradiation on human skin : nitric oxide mediated cardiovascular responses
… correlation for both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in mankind. A hypertension trial done by the Medical Research Council in the 1980s showed the average blood pressure being lower in summer than winter, and this difference was more significant in the elderly than the younger …

Does altering brachial artery tone with lower-body negative pressure and flow-mediated dilation affect arterial stiffness?
… pressure (LBNP). Similarly, the impact of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) on brachial artery compliance and distensibility remains unresolved, hi addition, before such measures can be used as prognostic tools, it is important to investigate the reliability and repeatability of both techniques. …

Resistance training for patients with chronic heart failure
… walk and peak aerobic (V02peak) capacity. Basal forearm blood flow was measured using strain gauge venous occlusion plethysmography. Vagal tone was assessed using heart rate variability. No medical complications arose during training or testing sessions. There were increases in upper body …

Fatigue-Independent Alterations in Muscle Activation and Effort Perception During Forearm Exercise: The Role of Local Oxygen Delivery
… unanswered questions by intermittently reducing forearm blood flow (FBF) during human (n = 16) handgrip exercise. When FBF was reduced, electrical activity and perception of effort increased. Interestingly, upon the first restoration of FBF neither electrical activity nor perception of effort …

Acute and Chronic Vascular Responses to Blood Flow Restriction in the Upper Body
Blood flow restriction (BFR) with low load exercise increases muscular size and strength. Little is known of vascular adaptations to this training modality, and nothing was known at very low loads. These studies examined cardiovascular responses to high load (70% of one-repetition maximum (1RM)) …

AN HEALTHY DIET AND AN HEALTHY FOOD ADDED WITH L-ARGININE: BIOAVAILABILITY AND BENEFICIAL EFFECTS
… L-Arginine diluted in 250 ml of natural water. Blood glucose, insulin, NOx, cGMP and L-Arginine were measured. Forearm blood flow (FBF) and reactive hyperaemia were measured by strain-gauge venous occlusion plethysmography. Peripheral resistance was calculates as a ratio between mean blood …
