Justin Geijer, Ph.D., (Ph.D., 2015) an assistant professor at Winona State University, is the lead author of an article published in the journal, Physiological Measurement. The article, “Comparison of brachial dilatory responses to hypercapnia and reactive hyperemia” reported that hypercapnia (a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood) and reactive hyperemia (the temporary increase in organ blood flow) stimulate vasodilation of the brachial artery, but use different pathways. This research was conducted in the School’s Laboratory of Integrative Human Physiology (LIHP).

Current MS student Neil Hultgren is a co-author on the article as well as graduate alumni  Aaron Kelly and Nicholas Evanoff and undergraduate alumni Michael Chernin and Matthew Stoltman. Donald R. Dengel, Ph.D., kinesiology professor and LIHP director, is also a co-author of this piece.
