This increase in sympathetic activity may lead to an elevation of arterial rigidity. By contrast, cardiac parasympathetic impairment is observed in these pathologies. Recently we showed in a model of rat massive obesity (ventromedial hypothalamic lesions) that an enhanced vagal activity may be protective against hypertension.
