Resumen de Human Vascular Aging: Limb-Specific Lessons

D. Walter Wray, Steve K. Nishiyama, Anthony J. Donato, Russell S. Richardson

• Unlike quadrupeds, human limbs are exposed to differing homeostatic challenges and uses across the life span. This raises the question of whether vascular function and skeletal muscle blood flow regulation differs between human limbs and whether these limb-specific parameters may be altered during exercise as a consequence of aging and disease
