Bu güçlendirilmiş vazokonstrüksiyon, sempatiksinir sistemi yoluyla soğumaya karşı bir refleks cevabı ve Alfa2C (α2C)adrenoreseptörlerinin lokal aktivasyonu ile gerçekleşmektedir. Bu hastalıkklinik olarak primer ve sekonder olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır. Primer RFidiyopatiktir ve hastalığın en yaygın şeklidir. Sekonder RF, otoimmün veyakanser gibi hastalıklara eşlik edebileceği gibi, sigara içimi ya da bazıilaçların kullanımı da sebebiyet verebilmektedir. Etkilenen bireyler, soğuk vestresin tetiklemesiyle birlikte, genellikle el parmaklarında, klasik üç renkdeğişikliğiyle (solukluk, siyanoz ve hiperemi) ilişkili olan vazospastikataklardan muzdarip olmaktadırlar. Epidemiyolojik çalışmalardan elde edilenveriler, RF prevalansı ile ilgili ilginç bulgular ortaya koymuştur. Yaşlarıaynı olan kadınların, erkeklere göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bir insidansasahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu derlemede, östrojenin, genetik yapının vekimyasal ajanların RF üzerine olan etkileri tartışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, buhastalığa neden olan birçok faktör açıklanmasına rağmen, RF&#039;nin başlangıcınınve ilerlemesinin altında yatan moleküler mekanizmaların aydınlatılması içindaha fazla araştırmaya gereksinim duyulmaktadır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Raynaud’sphenomenon (RP) is characterized by cold-induced vasoconstriction. Thisenhanced vasoconstriction is achieved by a reflex response to cooling throughthe sympathetic nervous system and by local activation of Alpha2C (α2C)adrenoreceptors. This disease is clinicallyclassified as primary and secondary. Primary RP is idiopathic and is the mostcommon form of the disease. Secondary RP may be associated with diseases suchas autoimmune diseases or cancer, and smoking or the use of certain medicationsmay also be cause. Affected individuals suffer from vasospastic attacksassociated with classical three colour changes (paleness, cyanosis, and hyperemia), often triggered by coldand/or stress. The data from the epidemiological studies revealed interestingfindings related to the prevalence of RP.It was determined that women with the same age had asignificantly higher incidence than men. In this review, the effects ofoestrogen, genetic structure and chemical agents on RP were discussed. As aresult, although many factors have been described causing this disease, furtherresearch is needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the onsetand progression of RP.</p></trans-abstract>
