Summary of CVC responses to local skin warming. Values are means ± SE. At Tloc = 34°C during perfusion with Ringer, 2% DMSO, and 1 mM ODQ, there were no statistical differences among sites (P > 0.05). Increasing Tloc from 34 to 41°C increased CVC significantly at all sites (P < 0.05, 34 vs. 41°C). CVC values were significantly less at sites treated with 1 mM ODQ (54 ± 5% maximum) than at either Ringer (90 ± 2% maximum) or 2% DMSO (86 ± 4% maximum) sites when Tloc = 41°C (P < 0.05, ODQ vs. Ringer or DMSO).
