The effect of intraduodenal glucose on muscle sympathetic nerve activity in healthy young and older subjects
2008
Objective
The cardiovascular response to a meal is modulated by gastric distension and the interaction of nutrients, particularly carbohydrate, within the small intestine. We tested the hypothesis that the depressor effect of small intestinal glucose is greater in older than in young subjects, because the reflex increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) is blunted by age.
