Sympathetic denervation of the upper limb improves forearm exercise performance and skeletal muscle bioenergetics

Background. Sympathetic activation may limit exercise performance by restraining muscle blood flow or by negatively affecting skeletal muscle metabolic behavior. To test this hypothesis we studied the effect of thoracoscopic sympathetic trunkotomy (TST) on forearm exercise duration, blood flow, and...
