... of the lower leg skin tissue. In this study, we addressed the question whether the microcirculation enhancement is restricted to the tissue in direct contact with plasma or if adjacent tissue might also benefit. Methods: A dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)-generated CAP device exhibiting an electrode area...

.... Dehydration Microcirculation Skin blood flow Sweating Thermoregulation Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is an important volume-regulating hormone that is released by cardiac muscle cells in response to elevations in right atrial pressure [ 1-4 ]. Under conditions of volume expansion, circulating...

.... Sweat rate was expressed in mg/min/cm 2 . Inflammation Elderly Thermoregulation Microcirculation Trypsin The heat loss responses of cutaneous vasodilatation and sweating are integral to body heat exchange and are therefore vital to the regulation of body temperature during exercise...

... the degradation of fats during lipolysis through inhibition of the phosphodiesterase activity. Caffeine has potent antioxidant properties. It helps protect cells against the UV radiation and slows down the process of photoaging of the skin. Moreover, caffeine contained in cosmetics increases the microcirculation...

...S. De Spirt; H. Sies; H. Tronnier; U. Heinrich Background/Aim: Microcirculation in the dermis of the skin is important for nutrient delivery to this tissue. In this study, the effects of a micronutrient concentrate (Juice Plus+®; ‘active group’), composed primarily of fruit and vegetable juice...

...M. Stücker; J. Steinberg; U. Memmel; A. Avermaete; K. Hoffmann; P. Altmeyer The cutaneous microcirculation shows a significant heterogeneity. With high-resolution two-dimensional laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI), spatial and temporal reproducible perfusion measurements can be reached...
