Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The fact that sympathetic denervation leads to enhancement of shunting from arterioles to superficial veins may explain the higher skin temperature seen after sympathectomy. After denervation some of the limb blood flow passes through channels that do not contribute to tissue nutrition.
