Figure 2.

Illustrated here is the relationship between blood flow (flux) obtained on a Laser Doppler Imager and the time that the blood flow was collected in seconds in South East Asian Indians. Each point represents the mean of the results of the 10 subjects ± the respective standard deviation under 2 conditions. In the first condition, occlusion was applied for the arm for 4 minutes in a thermally neutral room. Blood flow was then recorded throughout the 4 minute period and the 2 minute period following the release of the occlusion cuff. In the second set of experiments, occlusion was also applied for 4 minutes but with the arm warmed to 42°C with the thermode during the occlusion and for 2 minutes following the occlusion.
