Pre-ejection period reactivity

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Cognitive task decreases pre-ejection period reactivity in humans.

    “PEP reactivity was shown to be a transient phenomenon, decreasing both over the course of each task (only significant during the first minute) and across repeated sessions.”

Beta-hydroxybutyrate

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Cognitive task decreases beta-hydroxybutyrate in humans (mean decrease of 17.0% +/- 33.4%, Cohen's D=0.51).

    “b-HBA was depleted in the dual task condition (Visit 2-Visit 1 difference: mean decrease of 17.0% +/- 33.4% in pre-post % change).”
