The effect of prolonged and continuous (2 wk.) cold (60°F) exposure upon the peripheral veins, peripheral blood flow and venous pressure were studied in five men. The cold environment was preceded by a 2-week control period (80°F) and followed by a 2-week recovery period (80°F). Marked peripheral venous constriction, decrease of peripheral blood flow and increase of venous pressure occurred as initial (within 3 days) responses to cold. All of these values returned to or nearly to control levels during the recovery period.
