Sympathetic stiffening of arteries may persist despite nitric oxide donors; hypothesis-generating for independent sympathetic pathways in vascular regulation.
Does nitroglycerin supplementation alter the impact of sympathetic activation on brachial artery distensibility and diameter in humans?
Sympathetic activation increases brachial artery stiffness independently of diameter changes, and this effect is not reversed by exogenous nitric oxide.
Salzer et al. (2008) studied this question.
