Should not yet change practice in peripheral artery disease; hypothesis-generating for P2X receptor role in ischemic exercise pressor reflex.
Does PPADS attenuate the exercise pressor reflex in rats with peripheral artery insufficiency?
P2X receptors mediate the exercise pressor reflex in rats with peripheral artery insufficiency, but not in those with normal perfusion.
Stone et al. (2014) studied this question.
