Ischemic Handgrip Study Published in Physiological Reports

This study evaluated MSNA and renal blood flow responses to ischemic handgrip exercise in healthy subjects. Contrary to our hypothesis, neither raising nor lowering systemic oxidative stress affected the reflex changes in HR, MAP, MSNA, or renal vascular resistance in responses to fatiguing exercise. This was funded by our Program Project Grant, P01 HL096570. The full citation is:
