The sympathetic skin response of habitual betel users was studied to determine the effect of betel chewing on sympathetic function. Sympathetic skin response was recorded from the hand by stimulation of the contralateral median nerve at the wrist. While the response latency remained unchanged, the response amplitude showed a progressive reduction during chewing and a gradual recovery after chewing. The present data suggest that betel chewing probably affects sympathetic function through a cholinergic action at the central generator sites.
为了确定嚼槟榔对交感神经功能的影响，对习惯性嚼槟榔者的交感神经皮肤反应进行了研究。通过刺激手腕处的对侧正中神经，记录手部的交感神经皮肤反应。虽然反应潜伏期保持不变，但在咀嚼过程中反应幅度逐渐降低，咀嚼后逐渐恢复。目前的数据表明，嚼槟榔可能通过中枢发生部位的胆碱能作用影响交感神经功能。
