Abstract:
Human sympathetic nervous responses have been extensively studied using various stressors; however, there have been few comparisons of the patterns of sympathetic nervous activation which may be produced by different stressors. The purpose of this study was to explore whether different stressors produce differing degrees of sympathetic activation in muscle vasoconstrictor nerve fibres.
