Low-frequency sympathetic stimulation induces oscillatory rat skin blood flow; hypothesis-generating for human neuromodulation strategies.
Does electrical stimulation of the lumbar sympathetic trunk at different frequencies induce corresponding oscillations in skin blood flow in rats?
Organ-specific disparities exist in sympathetic transmission to vascular smooth muscles, with rat cutaneous blood vessels showing similar frequency response characteristics to humans.
Stauss et al. (1999) studied this question.
