Why the study?
Does static muscle contraction induce c-Fos expression in the medulla in anesthetized cats?
Does static muscle contraction induce c-Fos expression in the medulla in anesthetized cats?
Static muscle contraction activates neurons in the ventrolateral medulla, including PNMT-containing neurons, supporting its role in the exercise pressor reflex.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports RVLM PNMT activation by muscle contraction in cats; leaves open translation to human exercise pressor reflex mechanisms.
Li et al. (1997) studied this question.
