The relative influence of skin vascular conductance in glabrous (G; palm) and non-glabrous (NG; dorsal and forearm) regions to upstream brachial artery-shear stress (BA-SS) profile are unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of G and/or NG skin vascular conductance (VC), which were modulated by warming or cooling manipulation, on BA-shear rate (SR, an estimate of SS) during cycling exercise. Seven healthy subjects performed 60-min exercise. Between 20 and 50 min of the exercise, the NG+G or G skin region were warmed to 42°C or cooled to 15°C using a water bath. Throughout the protocol, diameter and blood velocity in BA and skin VCs in forearm and palm were measured. All measurements showed that a steady-state response was reached after 20 min of exercise. Subsequently, during cooling manipulation, forearm VC was significantly decreased, and the concomitant BA-SR profile was revealed (primarily characterized by decreased antegrade SR and increased retrograde SR) in the NG+G. Such changes were not observed in G alone. During warming manipulation, forearm VC and mean BA-SR significantly increased only in the NG+G. In conclusion, vascular response in NG skin possibly plays a major role in the modulation of BA-SS profile during cycling exercise.
