Fig. 5From: The effect of menstrual cycle phase on foot skin temperature during mild local cooling in young womenLaser Doppler flow in the left lateral surface of the big toe and lateral surface of the transverse tarsal joint (A-a and b) A typical example of spikes in LDF in the left big toe in the L phase. (B-a) and the number of LDF spikes in the lateral surface of the left big toe (B-b), during mild local cooling of the right foot. Values are presented as the mean ± SE (F phase, n = 6 measurements; L phase, n = 6 measurements). Asterisk indicates a significant difference between the F and L phases, hashtag indicates a significant difference between the resting (rest) and cooling (cool) periods, dagger indicates a significant difference between the rest and recovery periods, all at p < 0.05. Arrows in B-a indicate spikesBack to article page
