STUDY OF HEMOMICROCIRCULATION IN UPPER-EXTREMITY SKIN IN HEALTHY MEN IN NORMAL CONDITIONS WITH ACCOUNT OF HANDEDNESS

In this study we used laser doppler flowmetry to investigate the parameters of peripheral blood flow in the upper extremities in young males both right- and left-handers. Based on the data obtained we found that in right-handers (dextrals) active mechanisms of regulation of blood microcirculation prevail on the leading hand, In left-handers (sinestrals) active and passive mechanisms of its regulation are involved in the regulation of blood flow on the leading hand (left) and on the opposite (right). However, the contribution of active mechanisms is lower than that of right-handers.
