Key result
Static exercise induced similar reflex-mediated renal vasoconstriction in men and women (change in RVR 23% vs 31%, P=NS), and responses were unaffected by active muscle mass.
Why the study?
Does sex or active muscle mass influence renal vasoconstrictor responses during static exercise in healthy individuals?
Observational (n=20)
Does sex or active muscle mass influence renal vasoconstrictor responses during static exercise in healthy individuals?
Absolute Event Rate: 23% vs 31%
p-value: p=not significant
Muscle reflex-mediated renal vasoconstriction during static exercise is similar between men and women, and is not influenced by the magnitude of active muscle mass.

Supports equivalent renal vasoconstrictor responses during static exercise across sexes and muscle mass in health; leaves open relevance in cardiovascular disease.
Momen et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=20). Static exercise (handgrip and quadriceps contraction) vs. Men vs. women; Handgrip vs. quadriceps contraction was evaluated on Change in renal vascular resistance (RVR) during 15-s handgrip at 70% of maximum voluntary contraction (p=not significant). Static exercise induced similar reflex-mediated renal vasoconstriction in men and women (change in RVR 23% vs 31%, P=NS), and responses were unaffected by active muscle mass.
