Signaling of Immediate Exercise Hyperemia

What do 21st century cardiovascular physiology and classical physiologists in 1920s Cairo, Egypt have in common? Our latest podcast explores the clinical study by Crecelius et al, which seeks to understand the signaling mechanisms involved in blood flow regulation in humans. With a nod to history, Associate Editor Ajay Shah, lead author Frank Dinenno (Colorado State University), and expert Michael Joyner (Mayo Clinic) try to unravel the mysteries of exercise hyperemia. Listen now.
