Ageing augments nicotinic and adenosine triphosphate‐induced, but not muscarinic, cutaneous vasodilatation in women

What is the central question of this study? Does ageing augment muscarinic, nicotinic and/or ATP‐mediated cutaneous vasodilatation in women? What is the main finding and its importance? Ageing augments nicotinic and ATP‐induced, but not muscarinic, cutaneous vasodilatation in women. This will stimulate future studies assessing the pathophysiological significance of the augmented microvascular responsiveness in older women compared to their young counterparts.
