The arterial baroreceptor reflex system is one of the most powerful and rapidly acting
mechanisms for controlling arterial pressure. The purpose of the present review is to discuss …

Sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) is elevated in established hypertension. We tested the
hypothesis that SNA is elevated in neonate and juvenile spontaneously hypertensive (SH) …

Numerous pathways, neurotransmitters and their associated receptors are known to be
involved in the central nervous regulation of the cardiovascular system, including that of …

Maternal obesity in rodents is associated with increased adiposity, impaired glucose
tolerance, and hypertension in adult offspring. In this study we investigated the influence of …

Since the seminal work of Walter Cannon, the concept of homeostasis, which he described
as" the coordinated physiological processes which maintain most of the steady states in the …

Since the seminal work of Walter Cannon, the concept of homeostasis has been a major
force in the historical development of views of autonomic regulation and control. The …

Background and Purpose—The arterial baroreflex is an important determinant of the short-
term regulation of blood pressure and cardiovascular variability. The purpose of our study …

Objectives We aimed to evaluate whether long-term treatment with the soluble non-bacterial
fraction of kefir affects mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac hypertrophy through the …

Objective Estimating the risk entailed by classical risk factors like blood pressure (BP) or
serum cholesterol may be difficult because of their variability and the often unknown …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the effects of essential hypertension on
cardiac autonomic function in type 2 diabetic patients. BACKGROUND Hypertension is …
