Why the study?
Renal sympathetic innervation is important in the homeostasis of systemic and renal hemodynamics.
Does static handgrip exercise affect renal arterial pressure and flow in humans?
Does static handgrip exercise affect renal arterial pressure and flow in humans?
Direct invasive measurements show that static handgrip exercise increases renal arterial pressure and decreases flow, highlighting inter-individual variability in renal sympathetic control.
Variable renal responses to handgrip warrant no practice change; leaves open sympathetic mechanisms and clinical relevance.
Renal sympathetic innervation is important in the homeostasis of systemic and renal hemodynamics. We showed that renal arterial pressure significantly increased and that flow decreased during static handgrip exercise using direct renal arterial pressure and flow measurements in humans, but with a large difference between individuals. These findings may be useful for future studies aimed to assess the effect of interventions that influence renal sympathetic control.
