Several review articles have been published on the neurobehavioral actions of
acetaldehyde and other ethanol metabolites as well as in major alcohol-related disorders …

Previous reports from our laboratory have shown that ethanol elicits hypotension in female
but not in male rats and that this effect of ethanol is estrogen dependent (El-Mass MM and …

Hypertension, as the sole or comorbid component of a constellation of disorders of the
cardiovascular (CV) system, is present in over 90% of all patients with CV disease and …

Acute ethanol lowers blood pressure (BP) and cardiac output in proestrus and after chronic
estrogen (E2) replacement in ovariectomized (OVX) female rats. However, whether rapid …

Evidence suggests that male rats are protected against the hypotensive and myocardial
depressant effects of ethanol compared with females. We investigated whether E 2 modifies …

Summary 1 Published data concerning the effects of ovarian hormones on haemodynamic
variability are contradictory. For the first time, the present study used radiotelemetric …

AIMS: We recently reported that acute exposure to nicotine vasodilates the renal vasculature
of male rats via facilitation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). In this study, we …

The development of tolerance to the antihypertensive effect of clonidine and related
imidazolines is clinically recognized. Here, we employed a restricted daytime (8: 30 AM until …

The female gender is protected against immunological complications of endotoxemia. Here
we investigated whether gonadal hormone depletion by ovariectomy (OVX) uncovers …

This study dealt with the long-term effects of hypertension on circadian rhythms of
