LBNP elicits marked forearm vasoconstriction in healthy volunteers; supports potent baroreflex-mediated sympathetic control but leaves open clinical translation.
Does lower body negative pressure increase reflex forearm vascular resistance in healthy male volunteers?
Sympathetic control of resting limb vascular resistance in humans is highly potent, suggesting high-pressure arterial baroreceptors are main mediators of vasoconstrictor responses.
LUNDVALL et al. (1993) studied this question.
