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 |
