Response of central arterial stiffness to acute SJL
OXIDATIVE STRESS, JET LAG
The cfPWV was significantly elevated during the SJL trial compared with pre-intervention (Fig. The mechanisms underlying acute SJL elevation of sympathetic nerve activity remain unclear. We can speculate that the phenomenon is attributed to circadian disruption caused by acute SJL. An animal study has shown that simulated 12-h jet lag caused by air travel led to a pressor response by increasing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system via oxidative stress in the rostral ventrolateral medulla, which plays a role in cardiovascular regulatory nuclei within the brainstem [
