Responses to local heating between women and men. A: plateau. B: post-l-NAME plateau. C: NO-dependent vasodilation. Purple bars, all women (n = 18). Gray bars, men (n = 18). Data are represented as means ± SD. NO-dependent vasodilation data was analyzed with Mann–Whitney test. Plateau and post-l-NAME plateau data were analyzed with independent samples t tests. Level of significance was set at 0.05. Statistical significance is indicated as a horizontal line over respective group bars and labeled with the P value of the comparison. %CVCmax, percent of maximal cutaneous vascular conductance; l-NAME, Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester; NO, nitric oxide.
