Indicates slower human sympathetic-cutaneous coupling than in rodents; leaves open translation to neuromodulation therapies.
Does electrical stimulation of sympathetic nerves at different frequencies affect skin blood flow in humans?
Transmission from peripheral sympathetic nerves to cutaneous vascular smooth muscles in humans is slower than in rats, with the greatest response occurring at 0.075 to 0.10 Hz.
Stauss et al. (1998) studied this question.
