Sympathetic vasoconstrictor response to lower body negative pressure in young obese adults: the preliminary finding

Background: Elevations in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and sympathetic vasoconstrictor responsiveness to sympathoexcitation are associated with increased cardiovascular risks, which affect hemodynamics, and have been reported in obese adults with metabolic syndrome (1-3). It remains unclear whether this observation may also be present in young metabolically healthy obese adults.
