Hypothesis-generating for sympathetic targeting in obesity-related metabolic syndrome; leaves open insulin and hypertension relationships.
This review highlights the complex interplay between metabolic stimuli (like insulin and food intake) and sympathetic nerve activity, suggesting a pathophysiological role in metabolic syndrome and postprandial hypotension.
Jan Fagius (2003) conducted a review in Metabolic syndrome and hypertension. Sympathetic nerve activity was evaluated. Elevated resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity is associated with obesity, while its relationships with chronic insulin levels and hypertension remain less unanimous.
