Background—Our goal was to test sympathetic and cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity and
the transduction of sympathetic traffic into vascular resistance during the early follicular (EF) …

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 …

Objective Estrogen exerts a wide variety of actions involving many target tissues. We studied
the effects of long-term ovariectomy (OVX) and OVX with 17beta-estradiol treatment …

Background—Cardiovagal autonomic control declines with age in adult subjects, which is
related in part to increasing stiffness of the barosensory vessel wall. It is not known …

Arterial hypertension is a considerable side effect that accompanies the clinical use of
immunosuppressant drugs such as cyclosporine (CSA). In addition to promoting graft …

Zucker rats are a useful model in which to define the mechanisms that link obesity to
diabetes and associated cardiovascular disease. The present study tests the hypothesis that …

Hypertension is a major health problem that significantly contributes to heart disease and
stroke. While most studies of hypertension have focused on men, women also experience …

Background The rapid increase in the development of mouse models is resulting in a
growing demand for non-invasive physiological monitoring of large quantities of mice …

This study was designed to determine baroreflex control of heart rate (HR) to hypotensive
and hypertensive stimuli during the early follicular (EF), preovulation (PreOV), and midluteal …

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