Hello, I am looking to verify if a -20/-40 mmHg LBNP load is equivalent to +1/+2Gz stimulus in an SAHC in humans. I assume this is correct, however I am looking for any data which would validate this. Any info would be helpful. Also, bonus points would go to any paper which directly compares the 2 methods.
Thank you
HI: I had filled in a long answer and tried to attach several recent papers and somehow lost everything. If you are interested send me your direct email address. Mine is [email protected]. Please also review the my RG profile for "Leslie David Montgomery" and those of Julian M.Stewart and Victor Convertino.
My answer to your question is NO I do not know of any direct data making the comparison that is of your interest. There are a lot of factors to consider in making any such comparison.
What physiologic parameters do you want to be similar?
Does the LBNP and +Gz stress cause similar responses in different regions of the body?
Are there gender differences as t how males and females might respond to the same stress?
Anyway - Let me know.

Leslie: I don't know how I linked to this conversation. While we have diverse interests that we pursue, human physiology and centrifuges are not among them. Your missive deserved a reply. [email protected]
