Figure 3From: Normalization of flow-mediated dilation to shear stress area under the curve eliminates the impact of variable hyperemic stimulus Time course of forearm oxygen tissue saturation (NIRS) in conjunction with brachial artery blood flow (ultrasound). Values are means. *Volume of ischemia (StO2AUC) significantly different from all other trials; #Volume of ischemia (StO2AUC) significantly different from 3-min, 4-min, and 5-min; &Peak ischemia (StO2peak) significantly different from all other trials; ^ Peak ischemia (StO2peak) significantly different from 1-min, 2-min, and 3-min. All p < 0.0001. Ultrasound data were not collected during the occlusion periods.Back to article page
