Figure 1 – Effects of skin iontophoresis of acetylcholine (ACH) on cutaneous microvascular conductance (A, expressed in arbitrary perfusion units, APU, divided by mean arterial pressure, in mmHg) before military training (BEFORE) and one day after hospital discharge (AFTER). (B) Effects of forearm post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) on cutaneous microvascular conductance. (C) Functional capillary density before (BASAL) and during post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) before military training (BEFORE) and one day after hospital discharge (AFTER). (D) Percentage change in endothelial-dependent increase in capillary density after PORH before military training (BEFORE) and one day after hospital discharge (AFTER). BASAL: values before PORH; PEAK: maximum values after PORH; INCREASE: the difference between peak and basal values.
