Excerpt

Flouris and Cheung (2009a) contributed to the discussion on the methodology for inducing cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) and concluded that CIVD is a centrally originating phenomenon caused by sympathetic vasoconstrictor withdrawal. In this reply we hope to show, using the data of the recent study they refer to (Flouris and Cheung 2009b), that CIVD is of peripheral origin. …
