Excerpt
Recent work by our group showed that cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) is a centrally originating phenomenon caused by sympathetic vasoconstrictor withdrawal; it is dependent on excess heat, and it may be triggered by excess heat with the purpose of preserving thermal balance (Flouris et al.
2008; Flouris and Cheung
2009a,
b). To this effect, Daanen and Layden (
2009) recently argued that, instead, our data show that CIVD is of peripheral origin. Thus, our aim in this letter is to briefly clarify misconceptions that may have led Daanen and Layden to questionable inferences. …
