Human young adult cutaneous microvascular clinical outcomes with cutaneous Tempol (TP).

Reference Cohort Presenting Results Comments
Fujii et al., 2014 Young adult age current chronic smokers of cigarette tobacco Impaired microvascular function associated with current chronic cigarette smoking In 90% of subjects, cutaneous TP administration restored plateau Cutaneous Vascular Conductance, CVC1, compared to control non-treated (no TP) cigarette tobacco smokers TP restores cutaneous microvascular function and Nitric Oxide and Nitric Oxide Synthetase dependent vasodilation
Medow et al., 2011 Young adult age non-smokers (not a cigarette smoker and not exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke) Healthy; no impaired microvascular function In 100%, of subjects, cutaneous TP administration had no effect on plateau CVC, compared to controls in young adult non-smokers Cohort not expected to have high amounts of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and not expected to have impaired microvascular function
Medow et al., 2011 Young adult age non-smokers with oxidative stress experimentally induced by infusion of angiotensin II Impaired microvascular dysfunction induced by angiotensin II In 90% of subjects, cutaneous TP administration restored plateau CVC when Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was induced by angiotensin II TP restores microvascular function by inhibiting ROS
