The Influence of Autonomic Dysfunction Associated with Aging and Type 2 Diabetes on Daily Life Activities

Figure 2

This figure illustrates the excess blood flow above rest during a two-minute period after the release of an occlusion cuff on the brachial artery of age-matched control subjects and subjects with diabetes. Individual data points are shown for control subjects (diamonds) and subjects with diabetes. For the control subjects the regression line was Blood Flow = −0.518 age + 77.78. For the subjects with diabetes the regression equation was Blood Flow = −0.253 age + 31.01 [65].
