Summary of CVC responses to whole body heat stress. In normothermia, CVC values did not differ between sites (P > 0.05 between sites). In response to whole body cold stress, CVC fell at all sites (P < 0.05). These responses did not differ between sites (P > 0.05 between sites). During whole body heat stress, CVC increased at all sites (P > 0.05). At the peak of heat stress, CVC values were significantly different between those sites perfused with either Ringer solution alone or LNAA alone compared with CVC values at sites perfused with either NPLA alone or a combination of the LNAA and NPLA in Ringer (P > 0.05 Ringer vs. LNAA; *P < 0.05 Ringer or LNAA vs. NPLA or combined LNAA and NPLA; P > 0.05 NPLA vs. combined LNAA and NPLA). Thus NPLA treatment attenuated the CVC response to local skin heating, but LNAA treatment added no further attenuation.
