Both skin and muscle contribute to LBNP vasoconstriction; leaves open translation to clinical orthostatic intolerance or disease states.
Does graded lower body negative pressure affect cutaneous and muscular components of forearm blood flow in male subjects?
Both skin and muscle circulations participate in sustained peripheral vasoconstriction during lower body negative pressure, with muscle flow achieving near maximum vasoconstriction early.
Tripathi et al. (1986) studied this question.
