AUTOREGULATION is defined as the capacity of an organ or tissue to maintain a constant blood flow in the face of a change in perfusion pressure, while metabolism is unchanged. Under normal physiological conditions, large proximal arteries contribute little to the total resistance of a particular vascular bed. However, when atherosclerosis causes a conductance artery to narrow so that over 70% of the luminal cross-sectional area becomes obliterated, such a stenosis results in a significant…

Protection against skeletal muscle hypoperfusion by adenosine and nitric oxide: together alone?
TLDR
regulation of vasomotor tone in the microcirculation is essential to ensure adequate tissue oxygenation, particularly when oxygen demand is high, i.e., during hypoxia or in the presence of a flow-limiting stenosis.
Wavelet analysis of acute effects of static magnetic field on resting skin blood flow at the nail wall in young men.

Local Regulation of Microvascular Perfusion
TLDR
This chapter discusses the local control of microvascular perfusion and addresses some of the interactions between flow-induced dilation and myogenic/metabolic responses focusing on selected aspects of conducted vasodilation as they relate to functional hyperemia and to the coordination of segmental control mechanisms.
Inhibition of nitric oxide production aggravates myocardial hypoperfusion during exercise in the presence of a coronary artery stenosis.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that nitric oxide contributes to the maintenance of myocardial perfusion distal to a flow-limiting coronary artery stenosis during exercise.
NOS inhibition blunts and delays the compensatory dilation in hypoperfused contracting human muscles.
TLDR
Observations suggest that NO is released by contracting muscles or that a portion of the dilation caused by ischemic metabolites is NO dependent in forearm exercise with hypoperfusion.
Skeletal muscle blood flow responses to hypoperfusion at rest and during rhythmic exercise in humans.
TLDR
The findings indicate that at these exercise intensities 1) the restoration of FBF during exercise with hypoperfusion relied primarily on local dilator responses in conjunction with restoration of distal perfusion pressure likely as a result of increased collateral flow around the elbow, and 2) a loss of pulsatile flow and elastic recoil in the forearm may have contributed to the acute increase in vascular resistance seen at the onset of hypoperFusion.

TLDR
This finding was unexpected, because studies in dogs suggest that the pressor response to rhythmic exercise with restricted muscle blood flow can improve perfusion of the active muscles.
Regulation of coronary blood flow during exercise.
TLDR
The coronary collateral system embodies a dynamic network of interarterial vessels that can undergo both long- and short-term adjustments that can modulate blood flow to the dependent myocardium, and training augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation throughout the coronary microcirculation.
Autonomic and vascular responses to reduced limb perfusion.
TLDR
Once the muscle reflex is clearly engaged and MSNA is augmented, flow to muscle is no longer restored by a similar rise in perfusion pressure, suggesting that active vasoconstriction within muscle is occurring at +50 mmHg.
Regulation of Coronary Microvascular Resistance in Health and Disease
TLDR
This chapter elaborates the regulation of the coronary microcirculation under physiological and pathophysiological conditions and finds a dysfunction of the endothelium resulting in loss of the protective role of endothelial-derived relaxing factors, mainly nitric oxide.
Cardiovascular responses to graded reductions in leg perfusion in exercising humans.
TLDR
In humans stepwise reductions in MBF gradually elicit muscle chemoreflexes with no apparent threshold at these levels of exercise, without an apparent threshold.
Does endothelin-1 participate in the exercise-induced changes of blood flow distribution of muscles in humans?
TLDR
The present study demonstrated that the plasma norepinephrine concentrations were elevated by exercise in the femoral veins of both the working and nonworking legs, suggesting that the sympathetic nerve activity was augmented in both legs during exercise and proposed that endogenous ET-1 contributes to the exercise-induced redistribution of blood flow in muscles.
