Acute sympathetic activation constricts splanchnic vessels, reducing gut perfusion to support cardiac output and skeletal muscle flow.
Claim:
During an acute stress response, splanchnic vasoconstriction reduces gastrointestinal perfusion and prioritizes blood flow to the heart, lungs, and skeletal muscle.
HARDLY BS
Small-intestinal hypoperfusion can impair epithelial renewal and cause villous blunting.
