Gastric distension may elicit peripheral vasoconstriction in pigs; leaves open translation to human reflex control and should not change practice.
Does gastric distension alter peripheral blood flow in anaesthetized pigs?
Gastric distension induces sympathetically mediated peripheral vasoconstriction via vagal afferent pathways in a porcine model.
Vacca et al. (1996) studied this question.
