Metabolic adaptation
24-hour respiratory quotient (RQ) is inversely related to muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA).
Understanding the inverse relationship can help in designing interventions for weight management.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Accordingly, 24-h RQ adjusted for energy balance and age was inversely related to MSNA (r = -0.41; P = 0.01).
Why this rating
The statistical analysis supports a clear relationship.
