The autonomic nervous system and its sympathetic arm play important roles in the
regulation of blood pressure. 1–3 Their role in the short-term regulation of blood pressure …

Young women tend to have lower blood pressure, and less risk of hypertension, compared
to young men. As people age, both blood pressure and the risk of hypertension increase in …

Non‐Technical Summary In young men, sympathetic nerve activity is directly related to the
level of vasoconstrictor tone in the peripheral vasculature. However, in young women this …

Sex and age have important influences on sympathetic neural control of blood pressure in
humans. Young women are relatively protected against risk of hypertension due to greater …

The autonomic nervous system is a key regulator of cardiovascular system. In this review we
focus on how sex and aging influence autonomic regulation of blood pressure in humans in …

Key points Patients with post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at a significantly higher
risk of developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms underlying …

Sympathetic neural control of cardiovascular function is essential for normal regulation of
blood pressure and tissue perfusion. In the present review we discuss sympathetic neural …

Key points We have developed a simple analytical method for quantifying the transduction of
sympathetic activity into vascular tone. This method demonstrates that as women age, the …

There are significant age‐related changes in autonomic nervous system function that are
responsible for an impaired ability to adapt to environmental or intrinsic visceral stimuli in the …

Background: The morning surge of blood pressure (BP) is associated with α-adrenergic
activity. We studied the association between the α-adrenergic morning surge in BP and …
