Study Participants Needed


The Laboratory for Integrative Physiology at Michigan Tech is recruiting male and female research volunteers. We are conducting a study to better understand how nicotine (via smoking, vaping or chewing) affects cardiovascular responses to simulated hemorrhage.

You are eligible to participate if you satisfy the following:

  • Between the ages of 21 and 55
  • A nicotine or non-nicotine user
  • No diabetes, hyperthyroidism or respiratory illness
  • No history of blood clots or fainting upon standing
  • Not pregnant or trying to become pregnant
  • Not currently taking prescriptions drugs
  • Blood pressure is below 140/90 mmHg

The experiment will take about one hour of your time and there is monetary compensation associated with participation.
