To do this, they used functional MRI — a technique that detects brain activity
based on blood flow; active regions have higher levels of blood flowing to them.
Just know that the way you sleep will have an
impact on your blood flow, and women that do sleep on their left side tend to have baby boys.
As heart function declines, other parts of the body that
rely on blood flow are affected.»
Nor were there significant differences between the two
groups on blood flow from the left ventricle or levels of cardiac enzymes (secondary endpoints).
Using a computational model to analyze the effects of blocking these channels, they determined that blocking CaV1.2 would have a particularly dramatic effect
on blood flow in larger arteries, which have higher pressure.
Studies have produced results which indicate that aerobic and resistance training produce the opposite effects on arterial stiffness while demonstrating that resistance training offers unique
benefits on blood flow to the limbs and blood pressure.
While this wasn't the outcome researchers expected, Proctor maintains that the jury's still
out on blood flow and increased strength in forearm muscles after drinking beet juice.
Mori et al. examined the effects of
massage on blood flow and muscle fatigue following isometric lumbar exercise.
Led by neurologist Bradley Schlaggar, the group studied 238 healthy volunteers, 7 to 30 years old, using functional MRI, a technique that identifies active neural circuits
based on blood flow and blood oxygen levels.
Additionally, the kangaroo diet led to a rise in the plasma levels of the polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid, which is high in the meat, and which has a positive
effect on blood flow.
In marked contrast, the model shows that CaV3.3 has the opposite effect
on blood flow.
Finally, stretching has a minimal effect
on blood flow — it doesn't raise your heart rate much, which means it's unlikely to «flush» anything out.
«Conversely, we did not observe effects
on blood flow and on walking autonomy in PAD patients after milk chocolate consumption.»
