Visceral afferent stimulation may drive splanchnic sympathetic vasoconstriction in cats; leaves open translation to human regional blood flow regulation.
Does stimulation of visceral afferents alter regional sympathetic nerve activity and blood flow in anesthetized cats?
Stimulation of abdominal visceral afferents differentially induces sympathetic outflow to the splanchnic vascular bed, altering regional blood flow.
Pan et al. (2001) studied this question.
