Forearm blood flow. (A) Absolute FBF at rest and during the last 30 sec of the fCF_impulse test (“steady state”) in the control (gray bars) and T2D (white bars) groups. Lines represent individual participant data (solid = control participants; dashed = T2D participants). (B) Change in FBF from resting baseline to the last 30 sec of the fCF_impulse test. White shading represents the predicted ΔFBF if only FVK changed (MAP constant), with the remaining gray shading due to the addition of a change in MAP. Inset percent values indicate the proportional contribution of ΔFVK to ΔFBF. (C) Absolute FBF_relax and (D) FBF_contract during the last 30 sec of the fCF_impulse test. Data are means ± SD; closed symbols = control group, open symbols = T2D group. FBF, forearm blood flow; fCF, forearm critical force; FVK, forearm vascular conductance; MAP, mean arterial pressure.
