CVC responses to nonnoxious local heating in rosacea and age/sex-matched control subjects

	CVC, %max
	Forehead		Cheek		Forearm		Palm
	Rosacea	Control	Rosacea	Control	Rosacea	Control	Rosacea	Control
Baseline	25 ± 10	17 ± 5	11 ± 4	19 ± 4	5 ± 1	12 ± 6	23 ± 7	17 ± 5
32°C standardization	23 ± 8	17 ± 4	16 ± 4	25 ± 4	7 ± 2	7 ± 2	19 ± 5	13 ± 4
Initial peak	68 ± 9	75 ± 5	77 ± 8	78 ± 5	54 ± 9	65 ± 5	74 ± 6	77 ± 6

Values are means ± SE of cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) to maximal blood flow for the particular site. Baseline indicates CVC responses at individual nonstandardized skin temperature (rosacea = 30.7 ± 0.4, 29.1 ± 0.5, 29.1 ± 0.5, and 29.4 ± 0.9°C, and control = 30.2 ± 0.3, 29.5 ± 0.3, 28.8 ± 0.2, and 28.8 ± 0.6°C for forehead, cheek, forearm, and palm, respectively). 32°C standardization is when local heaters were engaged to standardize blood flow between subjects and sites. Initial peak refers to the first peak in the local heating response.
