Acute Thermotherapy Prevents Impairments in Cutaneous Microvascular Function Induced by a High Fat Meal

Table 3

Baseline % 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. versus same time point compared to HFM; versus pre-HFM and pre-local heating within the same trial. Values are means ± SEM.
