Figure 2. Influence of central command and the exercise pressor reflex on the resetting of the carotid baroreflex-mean arterial pressure stimulus-response curve during exercise.

Figure 2

Carotid baroreflex-mean arterial pressure stimulus-response curves are presented at rest and during static exercise under control, neuromuscular blockade (NMB; enhanced central command activation), medical anti-shock trousers (MAST; enhanced exercise pressor reflex activation) and the combination of NMB and MAST (Combo) conditions. Lines represent fitted logistic functions developed from the mean baroreflex curve parameters for all subjects. As discussed in detail in the text, central command and the exercise pressor reflex play both independent and interactive roles in the resetting of the arterial baroreflex with exercise.
