Neurocirculatory reflexive control and plasticity in healthy males exposed to hypoxia

B Shafer - 2023 - open.library.ubc.ca
Purpose: In healthy humans, exposure to acute bouts of hypoxia elicits persistent increases
in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). Long-lasting increases in MSNA may have …

Sex Differences in Vascular Reactivity During Acute and Chronic Hypoxia

ER Vanden Berg - 2022 - era.library.ualberta.ca
BACKGROUND: Current evidence suggests that males and females regulate resting blood
pressure differently. This may be a function of altered sympathetic activity, neurovascular …
