  13. 20-05-2019 Conclusions The ability for functional sympatholysis is tightly coupled to the training status of the muscle Functional sympatholysis is impaired with ageing Functional sympatholysis does not appear to be impaired in the leg of individuals with essential hypertension or COPD compared to age-matched controls Nitric oxide does not appear to be obligatory for functional sympatholysis in humans (but may play a role along with other substances) Reduced postjunctional α -adrenergic vasoconstrictor responsiveness may play a role in mediating functional sympatholysis Thank you for your attention! 13
