l-Menthol attenuates the magnitude of cold-induced vasodilation on the extremities of young females

Abstract Background Menthol chemically triggers cold-sensitive receptors in the skin without conductive skin cooling. We investigated the effects of menthol-induced activation of cutaneous cold receptors on the cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) of the finger. We hypothesized that the menthol applicat...
