Bone loss in the lower leg during 35 days of bed rest is predominantly from the cortical compartment

The present study therefore supports the suggestion of the subendocortical layer as a transitional zone, which can readily be transformed into trabecular bone in response to immobilization. The latter will lead to cortical thinning, a factor that has been associated with the risk of fracture and with osteoarthritis.

The effect of exercise-induced elevation in core temperature on cold-induced vasodilatation response in toes.

Cold-induced vasodilatation (CIVD) has been proposed as a potential protective mechanism against cold injuries during exposure of extremities to a cold environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of exercise and the associated elevation in core temperature on toe skin temperatures during immersion of the foot in cold (8°C) water. It is concluded that exercise, and particularly the associated elevation in core temperature, enhances the frequency of the toe CIVD responses.
