To determine the relationship between mammary and cutaneous blood flow (BF) the regional distribution of 86RbCl was used to estimate the fractional distribution of the cardiac output to these tissues in virgin, multiparous, pregnant and lactating mice. The results indicate a positive linear correlation between the values obtained for the skin and that obtained for its underlying mammary tissue. This finding may have a practical application, since the skin is more readily accessible for BF measurements than the mammary tissue that it covers.

The relationship of local skin temperature and the onset of sweating to the local cutaneous blood flow was studied in the forearm and calf. The purpose of the investigation was to appraise the possible relation of sweat gland activity to the cutaneous vasodilatation which has been attributed to bradykinin or to intracranial temperatures. The onset of sweating was not marked by any apparently related increases in the rate of cutaneous blood flow. On the contrary, the onset of sweating was followed often by a stabilization or even a decrease in the level of cutaneous blood flow. The relations of the latter to the local skin temperature were complex, particularly in the forearm. There appeared to be additional unidentified influences, possibly vasomotor, operating on the skin vessels during transitional phases in the relation of skin temperature to blood flow.

The effects of intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of serotonin on cardiac output, blood pressure, and organ distribution of blood flow (Rb86) were studied in the rat. Fifteen to thirty minutes after intraperitoneal injection (10 mg/kg) cardiac output was unchanged, while blood pressure was significantly reduced. Increase in blood flow was noted in the myocardium, pulmonary parenchyma and "carcass" (skeletal muscle, bone, CNS), with decrease in the kidney and the skin. Splanchnic blood flow was unchanged. Conversely, intravenous infusion of serotonin produced an increase of cardiac output, blood pressure, and cutaneous blood flow.

This study determined whether the decline in stroke volume (SV) during prolonged exercise is related to an increase in heart rate (HR) and/or an increase in cutaneous blood flow (CBF). Seven active men cycled for 60 min at ∼57% peak O2 uptake in a neutral environment (i.e., 27°C, <40% relative humidity). They received a placebo control (CON) or a small oral dose (i.e., ∼7 mg) of the β1-adrenoceptor blocker atenolol (BB) at the onset of exercise. At 15 min, HR and SV were similar during CON and BB. From 15 to 55 min during CON, a 13% decline in SV was associated with an 11% increase in HR and not with an increase in CBF. CBF increased mainly from 5 to 15 min and remained stable from 20 to 60 min of exercise in both treatments. However, from 15 to 55 min during BB, when the increase in HR was prevented by atenolol, the decline in SV was also prevented, despite a normal CBF response (i.e., similar to CON). Cardiac output was similar in both treatments and stable throughout the exercise bouts. We conclude that during prolonged exercise in a neutral environment the decline in SV is related to the increase in HR and is not affected by CBF.

Twenty-one patients with replanted digits were examined. An assessment of cold symptoms relating to their replants was made and the pulp two-point discrimination measured. Cutaneous blood flow was then monitored using a laser Doppler flowmeter. Recordings were taken at room temperature and following cooling. In all cases but one flow decreased with lowering of temperature in both replanted and normal digits. In eleven cases (52%) replant flow fell to noticeably lower levels compared to normal digits, but in the remainder this difference was not apparent. The presence or absence of cold intolerance did not correlate with flow levels or with two-point discrimination measurements.
