Circadian and sex differences in post ‐ischemic vasodilation and reactive hyperemia in young individuals and elderly with and without type 2 diabetes

ConclusionsForearm vasodilation following reperfusion is attenuated in the morning in the elderly, impairing BF towards an ischemic area. Diabetes does not affect the circadian regulation of VC and BF, but that of MAP. There are sex differences in VC and BF at baseline and after circulatory reperfusion at a young age, being greater in men, which disappear with aging without being affected by diabetes.
