Statins and the autonomic nervous system

Clinical Science, 2013
Statins (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors) reduce plasma cholesterol and improve endothelium-dependent vasodilation, inflammation and oxidative stress. A ‘pleiotropic’ property of statins receiving less attention is their effect on the autonomic nervous system.

Autonomic Nervous System in Haemodialysis

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1988
Abstract Fifty-two patients with terminal chronic renal failure on haemodialysis were assessed for the existence of autonomic neuropathy using the Valsava index. The values in the patients were lower than in the controls. Only a few symptoms could be related to the autonomic neuropathy.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Biological Reviews, 1947
SummaryEarly workers have found that the peripheral sympathetic neurons arise from mesoderm, neural crest, or neural tube. In recent years various studies on normal embryos have supported each of these contradictory views. Experimental studies have yielded results which indicate an origin from the neural crest or neural tube.

Autonomic Nervous System Function

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1993
Tests of autonomic function for the clinical autonomic neurophysiology laboratory should be noninvasive, sensitive, specific, reproducible, physiologically and clinically relevant, and not be excessively time-consuming. Laboratory evaluation is strongly indicated when the following are suspected: (1) generalized autonomic failure, (2) benign autonomic ...

Exercise and the autonomic nervous system

2013
The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in the cardiovascular response to acute (dynamic) exercise in animals and humans. During exercise, oxygen uptake is a function of the triple-product of heart rate and stroke volume (i.e., cardiac output) and arterial-mixed venous oxygen difference (the Fick principle).

An Aquatic Autonomic Nervous System

Advanced Materials
AbstractReproducing human nervous systems with endogenous mechanisms has attracted increasing attention, driven by its great potential in streamlining the neuro‐electronic interfaces with bilateral signaling. Here, an artificial aquatic autonomic nervous system (ANS) with switchable excitatory/inhibitory characteristics and acetylcholine (ACh)‐mediated

Testing the Autonomic Nervous System

Seminars in Neurology, 2003
Noninvasive, well-validated clinical tests of autonomic function are available and are in relatively wide use. These comprise an evaluation of sudomotor, cardiovagal, and adrenergic functions. These tests are very useful and have resulted in the recognition of milder degrees of autonomic failure and the presence of orthostatic intolerance that ...

Autonomic nervous system and cancer

Clinical Autonomic Research, 2018
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the main homeostatic regulatory system of the body. However, this widely distributed neural network can be easily affected by cancer and by the adverse events induced by cancer treatments. In this review, we have classified the ANS complications of cancer into two categories.

THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM AND IMMUNITY

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1952
THE ROLE of the nervous system in the phenomenon of immunity and in the genesis of antibodies has been the subject of research by a number of workers in the past few decades. Unfortunately, the studies were incomplete and the experimental methods inadequate; the results were, therefore, inconclusive and contradictory.

Testing the autonomic nervous system

2013
Autonomic testing is used to define the role of the autonomic nervous system in diverse clinical and research settings. Because most of the autonomic nervous system is inaccessible to direct physiological testing, in the clinical setting the most widely used techniques entail the assessment of an end-organ response to a physiological provocation.
