Baseline %CVC_max⁡ data. Baseline values for the three experimental trials. Pre-HFM was defined as the three-minute period just prior to either the thermoneutral or TT; post-HFM was defined as the three-minute period immediately preceding the end of either the thermoneutral or TT; pre-local heating was defined as the three-minute period just prior to beginning the local heating protocol. HFM: high fat meal; HFM-TT: high fat meal plus mild heat stress trial. ^∗ P < 0.05 versus same time point compared to HFM; ^# P < 0.05 versus pre-HFM and pre-local heating within the same trial. Values are means ± SEM.

	Control trial	HFM trial	HFM-TT trial
Pre-HFM		14 ± 2	18 ± 3
Post-HFM		13 ± 2	32 ± 3∗#
Pre-local heating	17 ± 3	17 ± 3	21 ± 5
