To determine whether angiotensin II (ANG II) contributes to the reflex skeletal muscle sympathoexcitation elicited by isometric and isotonic exercise, we tested the hypothesis that angiotensin AT(1) receptor blockade (ARB) would attenuate reflex sympathoneural responses to handgrip (HG) and to post-handgrip ischemia (PHGI).
