Exercise training enhances autonomic balance in mice; leaves open translation to human baroreflex therapies.
Does exercise training improve autonomic cardiovascular balance in mice?
Exercise training in mice induces resting bradycardia and improves baroreflex-mediated tachycardia, reflecting increased vagal and decreased sympathetic tone similar to human responses.
Angelis et al. (2004) studied this question.
