To examine whether there is a circadian variation in skin blood flow response to passive heat stress and maximal skin blood flow, which was measured by local warming to 42 degrees C for 45 min, we studied six men at an ambient temperature of 28 degrees C at four different times of day [0400-0700 (morning), 1000-1300 (daytime), 1600-1900 (evening), and 2200-0100 hours (night)], each time of day being examined on separate days. Heat stress at rest was performed by immersing the legs below the knee in hot water (42 degrees C) for 60 min. The esophageal temperature (Tes) at rest was significantly higher in the evening than in the morning. The maximal skin blood flow (SkBFmax) on both sites, back and forearm, did not show a significant difference among the four times of day. The variation in Tes thresholds for cutaneous vasodilation to heat stress was similar to the circadian rhythm in resting Tes. The relationship of the percentage of SkBFmax (%SkBF) with Tes was significantly lower in the morning than in the evening. The results suggest that the maximal skin blood flow during local warming does not show variation over the day, but the sensitivity of vasodilation to passive heat stress shows a circadian variation. |
