Endothelial nitric oxide synthase mediates the nitric oxide component of reflex cutaneous vasodilatation during dynamic exercise in humans

Increases in skin blood flow and sweating also occur during exercise; however, it is not known if the mechanisms controlling these responses are the same during passive heat stress and exercise. The prevailing thought has been that mechanisms of cutaneous vasodilatation during passive heat stress and sustained dynamic exercise are the same, or very similar. Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to be important for increasing skin blood flow during passive heat stress but it is unknown if this molecule is also involved during sustained dynamic exercise. The findings from our study suggest NO is involved in increasing skin blood flow during sustained dynamic exercise in humans but the NO is produced from a different enzyme compared to passive heat stress. These findings may help us better understand and aid individuals who have difficulty regulating their body temperature during sustained dynamic exercise (e.g. ageing).
