Muscle sympathetic nerve activity in COPD: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
European Respiratory ReviewBackground Cardiovascular disease is a primary driver of mortality in COPD. Elevated sympathetic nerve activity is a key proposed mechanism, but the magnitude of this autonomic overactivity has not been quantified in a pooled analysis.

The relationship between muscle sympathetic nerve activity and serum fatty acid binding protein 4 at rest and during isometric handgrip exercise [PDF]
Physiological ReportsFatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is highly expressed in adipocytes. Lipolysis, caused by an elevated adrenergic input, has been suggested to contribute to elevated serum FABP4 levels in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship

Effects of acute ketone monoester ingestion on heart rate, blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity at rest and stress in healthy adults [PDF]
Physiological ReportsExogenous ketone supplementation can impact cardiovascular regulation, but the effects on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) remain unknown. In a randomized, crossover, double‐blind design, 19 participants (23 ± 4 years.; female: n = 9) ingested an

Sympathetic modulation of hindlimb muscle contractility is altered in aged rats
Scientific Reports, 2023 It has recently been demonstrated that reflex excitation of muscle sympathetic nerves triggered by muscle contraction contributes to the maintenance of tetanic force (TF) in rat hindlimb muscles.
