May support exercise as sympatholytic therapy in hypertension; leaves open human translation of baroreflex mechanisms.
Does exercise training decrease sympathetic tone and improve baroreceptor function in spontaneously hypertensive rats?
This review highlights that the blood-pressure lowering effect of chronic exercise in hypertension may be mediated by decreased sympathetic tone and improved baroreceptor function.
Krieger et al. (2001) studied this question.
