Abstract
The search for the mechanisms of skin damage in venous disease has resulted in investigation of the blood. Moyses et al studied the limbs of normal subjects Their subjects sat on a bicycle saddle with the limbs dependent for a period of forty minutes without moving1. Blood samples were taken from the long saphenous vein at the ankle.
