Abstract
⺠Laser speckle (LS) is a useful technique in the evaluation of endothelial function. ⺠LS can be coupled with transdermal iontophoretic delivery of acetylcholine (ACh). ⺠Iontophoresis charges up to 1.5 mC do not induce nonspecific microvascular effects. ⺠Microvascular responses induced by ACh are higher in young women than in young men. ⺠LS identifies individuals with microvascular endothelial dysfunction.
