This review examines how the sympathetic nervous system plays a major role in the
regulation of cardiovascular function over multiple time scales. This is achieved through …

The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a unique and important brain region
involved in the control of cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and other physiological functions …

The maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis is highly dependent on tightly controlled
interactions between the heart and the kidneys. Therefore, it is not surprising that a …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) is an important site for autonomic
and endocrine homeostasis. The PVN integrates specific afferent stimuli to produce an …

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome affecting roughly 26 million people
worldwide. Increased sympathetic drive is a hallmark of HF and is associated with disease …

The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus is a central site known to modulate
sympathetic outflow. Excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters within the PVN dictate final …

Rationale: Hypertension is a common and serious adverse effect of calcineurin inhibitors,
including cyclosporine and tacrolimus (FK506). Although increased sympathetic nerve …

Cardiovascular diseases are traditionally related to well known risk factors like dyslipidemia,
smoking, diabetes and hypertension. More recently, stress, anxiety and depression have …

Since the discovery of vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) in 1953, considerable knowledge
has been gathered about their roles in cardiovascular homeostasis. Unraveling VP …
