Changes in peripheral deep body temperature (p‐DBT) after cooling were examined in normal, chronically hypertensive pregnant and pre‐eclamptic subjects. The recovery of p‐DBT after cooling was delayed significantly in the pre‐eclamptic subjects, as compared to findings in the other two groups. The delay in the recovery process of blood flow in the tissue after cooling, probably due to disturbance of the vasodilating process, is a characteristic of microcirculation in pre‐eclamptic subjects.
