I. Introduction P LACENTAL lactogen (PL), a protein hormone synthesized and secreted by
the placenta, has striking homologies in its chemical and biological properties to GH and …

Context: Evidence indicates that hypoestrogenemia is linked with accelerated progression of
atherosclerosis. Premenopausal women presenting with ovulatory disruption due to …

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 …

We have previously demonstrated the effects of estrogen on modulation of myocardial ATP-
sensitive K+ (KATP) channel. Previous studies have demonstrated that activation of …

We have recently shown that estrogen enhances baroreceptor control of reflex bradycardia
in conscious rats. The present study replicated this finding in pentobarbital sodium …

The following experiments examine the role of estrogen as a central modulator of autonomic
tone and baroreflex sensitivity in the female rat. Female Sprague–Dawley rats were …

The following experiments were conducted to determine if peripherally administered
estrogen has an effect on central autonomic tone and whether this change in tone results in …

Reported clinical and experimental findings have shown that baroreflex control of heart rate
is attenuated in women compared with men. This study investigated whether the sexual …
