Abstract

We assessed the influence of barosensory vessel mechanics (magnitude and rate of unloading and time spent unloaded) as a surrogate for baroreceptor unloading. In young men, aortic unloading mechanics are important in regulating the operating point of the vascular sympathetic baroreflex, whereas in middle-aged men, these arterial mechanics do not influence this operating point. The age-related increase in resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity does not appear to be driven by altered baroreceptor input from stiffer barosensory vessels.
