Although dose-response curves are commonly used to describe in vivo cutaneous α-adrenergic responses, modeling parameters and analyses methods are not consistent across studies. The goal of the present investigation was to compare three analysis methods for in vivo cutaneous vasoconstriction studies using one reference data set. Eight women (22 ± 1 yr, 24 ± 1 kg/m2) were instrumented with three cutaneous microdialysis probes for progressive norepinephrine (NE) infusions (1 × 10−8, 1 × 10−6, 1 × 10−5, 1 × 10−4, and 1 × 10−3logM). NE was infused alone, co-infused with NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA, 10 mM) or Ketorolac tromethamine (KETO, 10 mM). For each probe, dose-response curves were generated using three commonly reported analyses methods:1) nonlinear modeling without data manipulation,2) nonlinear modeling with data normalization and constraints, and3) percent change from baseline without modeling. Not all data conformed to sigmoidal dose-response curves usinganalysis 1, whereas all subjects' curves were modeled usinganalysis 2. When analyzing only curves that fit the sigmoidal model, NE + KETO induced a leftward shift in ED50compared with NE alone withanalyses 1and2(Ftest,P< 0.05) but only tended to shift the response leftward withanalysis 3(repeated-measures ANOVA,P= 0.08). Neither maximal vasoconstrictor capacity (Emax) inanalysis 1nor %change CVC change from baseline inanalysis 3were altered by blocking agents. In conclusion, although the overall detection of curve shifts and interpretation was similar between the two modeling methods of curve fitting,analysis 2produced more sigmoidal curves.
