What does this research mean for the field?

Human skin and muscle sympathetic nerve activities fluctuate concordantly across a wide range of time-varying frequencies, indicating they are similarly entrained by shared central neural oscillators and external influences. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Why the study?

Does whole-body heating affect skin and muscle sympathetic nerve activities and haemodynamic fluctuations in healthy young men?

Population

9 healthy supine young men

Comparison

Whole-body heating vs Baseline room temperature (~27°C for ~20 min)

Design

Other

Follow-up

55 minutes (20 min baseline, 35 min heating)

Authors

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Heating effects on sympathetic oscillations should not alter clinical practice; leaves open the role of multiple central oscillators in human cardiovascular control.

Does whole-body heating affect skin and muscle sympathetic nerve activities and haemodynamic fluctuations in healthy young men?

Population

9 healthy supine young men

Intervention

Whole-body heating (room temperature increase from ~27°C to ~38°C over 35 min)

Comparator

Baseline room temperature (~27°C for ~20 min)

Outcome

Frequencies and coherences of oscillations over time of integrated skin and muscle sympathetic nerve activities and haemodynamic fluctuationssurrogate

Human skin and muscle sympathetic motoneurones are similarly entrained by external influences, supporting the existence of multiple, time-varying central sympathetic neural oscillators.
