Only intense LBS activates renin in healthy men; leaves open baroreceptor thresholds in cardiovascular disease.
Does graded lower body suction alter plasma renin activity in healthy men?
Increases in plasma renin activity require combined reduction of high- and low-pressure baroreceptor inhibition, as reduction in low-pressure inhibition alone is insufficient.
Mark et al. (1978) studied this question.
