Figure 3. Shear rate responses after cuff deflation.

Figure 3

a) 60s brachial artery reactive hypaeremic shear rate area under the curve (AUC) were reduced throughout the recovery period compared with measures taken prior to the prolonged low flow (PLF) (shaded area). b) Peak reactive hyperaemic blood flow was unaltered by PLF whereas c) time to peak dilation was reduced at 15 minutes of recovery but recovered by 30 minutes. There were no significant differences within the menstrual cycle. * Indicates a significant difference (p≤0.05) from PRE PLF (main effect for Time) determined by post hoc analysis. AUC is the area under the curve.
