★Hattori, Takahagi, and Tomita, graduate students in Nishiyasu and Fujii Laboratory, received awards at the Society for the Study of Exercise and Body Temperature
Members of Professor Nishiyasu and Associate Professor Fujii’s laboratory were honored at the 38th Research and Presentation Meeting on Exercise and Body Temperature held at Saga University on September 1. The presentations by graduate students Hattori and colleagues received the Grand Prize, while those by graduate students Takahagi and colleagues received the Award for Excellence and those by graduate students Tomita and colleagues received the Encouragement Award respectively. The presentations were as follows.
Rei Hattori et al: Effect of TRPA1 on skin vasodilation response during exercise under heat
This study investigated the effect of TRPA1 on skin vasodilation during exercise under heat, and showed the partial involvement of TRPA1 in the skin vasodilation mechanism derived from nitric oxide synthase.
Mako Takahagi et al: Effects of carbonated water consumption on orthostatic stress during exercise under heat
This study investigated the effects of carbonated water consumption during orthostatic behaviour between exercise under heat on circulatory responses during orthostasis, and showed that carbonated water consumption may be effective in preventing standing dizziness.
Yudai Tomita et al: Local skin heating and cooling suppresses the decrease in skin vasodilation caused by prolonged sitting rest
This study investigated the effects of prolonged sitting rest and local heating and cooling on skin vasodilation, and showed that local heating and cooling can suppress the decrease in skin vasodilation caused by prolonged sitting rest.
