Ischemia-reperfusion injury alters skin microvascular responses to local heating of the index finger

Conclusions The current IR model elicits impaired cutaneous vasodilatory responses to local heating in young males, primarily in non-glabrous skin, and may be useful for exploring mechanisms of IR-injury and for testing potential countermeasures in otherwise healthy humans.
