Low basal muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) is independently associated with low lipid oxidation.
Practitioners should consider the role of sympathetic nervous activity in lipid oxidation and body weight management.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether low basal muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), a direct measure of sympathetic nervous outflow, is independently associated with low lipid oxidation.
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving intraneural recordings and a defined population.
