Why the study?
Does a modest elevation in plasma insulin levels alter sympathetic nerve activity and forearm vascular resistance in normal subjects?
Does a modest elevation in plasma insulin levels alter sympathetic nerve activity and forearm vascular resistance in normal subjects?
Modestly elevated insulin levels increase sympathetic nerve activity without causing vasodilation, suggesting a dissociation of these effects at low levels relevant to hypertension and obesity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May dissociate sympathetic activation from vasodilation at modest insulin levels; hypothesis-generating for hypertension mechanisms in obesity.
Hausberg et al. (1995) studied this question.
