  12. Christensen NJ, Norsk P. The fallacy of plasma noradrenaline spillover measurements. Acta Physiol Scand. 2005 Mar;183(3):333-4; author reply 334.
    Biaggioni I, Robertson D, Eckberg DL; the Neurolab Investigators. Reply. Acta Physiol Scand. 2005 Mar;183(3):334. Note (#12) Commenting on an earlier article by Eckberg, Christensen and Norsk agree with the view that sympathetic activity may be higher in space than on Earth but they discuss limitations of the plasma noradrenaline spillover measurements employed on Neurolab. Biaggioni et al. responded that they understand the limitations of the technique and stated that it was one of a number of complementary methods that yielded congruent results supporting the finding of increased sympathetic nerve activity in space.
