Abstract
Experiments were carried out to study the effect of a change in posture on some vasodilator responses. Reactive hyperaemia, post-exercise hyperaemia, and local heat hyperaemia in the forearm were investigated with the subject lying and standing. In each case the hyperaemia was reduced on standing, though this reduction could be abolished by the intra-arterial infusion of a sympathetic adrenergic antagonist.
