AUTHORS'SYNOPSIS Left ventricular function and isovolumic indices of contractility were
examined in the awake, chronically instrumented dog to assess their ability to detect …

Hindbrain adrenergic/noradrenergic nuclei facilitate endocrine and autonomic responses to
physical and psychological challenges. Neurons that synthesize adrenaline and …

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induces inflammatory response that may lead to
remote vascular injury. Vagal nerve elicits the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway by …

It has been shown that the female sex hormones have a protective role in the development
of angiotensin II (ANG II)-induced hypertension. The present study tested the hypotheses …

Sympathetic hyperinnervation occurs in human ventricular tissue after myocardial infarction
and may contribute to arrhythmias. Aberrant sympathetic sprouting is associated with …

Purpose Sympathetic vasoconstriction plays a major role in the beat-to-beat control of blood
pressure. To be effective and thus avoid dangerously high or low blood pressures, this …

Methods. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that sympathetic responses during exercise are
augmented in PMW compared to young women (YW), and estradiol administration …

For many populations of estrogen‐sensitive neurons it remains unknown how they are
associated with central nervous system circuitries that mediate estrogen‐induced …

The role of estrogen in central autonomic nuclei was examined in ovariectomized female
Sprague–Dawley rats supplemented daily for 7 days with either estrogen (5 μg/kg; sc) or …

During their reproductive years women produce significant levels of estrogens,
predominantly in the form of estradiol, that are thought to play an important role in …
