Greater metabolite accumulation may underlie prehypertensive metaboreflex exaggeration; hypothesis-generating for its role in hypertension progression.
Does prehypertension alter the pressor response and metabolite production during muscle metaboreflex activation in men?
The exaggerated pressor response to muscle metaboreflex activation in prehypertensive men is associated with greater production of muscle metabolites rather than increased sympathetic or hormonal activation.
