Food-induced sympathetic activation may influence postprandial hemodynamics; leaves open nutrient-specific effects on cardiometabolic risk.
Does the intake of different nutrients increase muscle nerve sympathetic activity in healthy subjects?
Food intake, particularly glucose, causes a sustained increase in muscle nerve sympathetic activity independent of the insulin response, which may be important for postprandial blood redistribution.
Fagius et al. (1994) studied this question.
