Supports beat-by-beat sympathetic vasoconstriction at rest; hypothesis-generating and leaves open extension to older or clinical populations.
Do spontaneous bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity decrease leg vascular conductance in resting young men?
Spontaneous bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity dynamically decrease leg vascular conductance on a beat-by-beat basis in resting humans.
Fairfax et al. (2013) studied this question.
