Menopause and vascular endothelial health: Is it all about the oestrogen?

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in women, and CVD risk is accelerated during the menopause transition. This acceleration has traditionally been attributed to the hallmark decline in oestradiol with menopause. However, the menopause transition is also characterized by changes in other sex hormones that exert effects

Contributions of vascular ageing to late‐onset Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is an age‐related disease that is strongly associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular impairments. As such, changes in the vasculature with advancing age likely contribute to LOAD, but the mechanisms underlying these contributions remain incompletely understood.

Cerebrovascular flow‐mediated dilation in humans: Methodological challenges, physiological interpretation and future integrations

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Arterial shear‐mediated vasodilation is a well‐established measure of endothelial function and serves as a critical biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk. Endothelial function can be measured using a variety of experimental methodologies; however, the most widely adopted technique is ultrasound‐based flow‐mediated dilation (FMD), in which ...

Stroke neurovascular responses to exercise: A novel rehabilitation paradigm

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of long‐term disability, impacting the cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular and neuromotor systems. Characterising vascular responses to exercise post‐stroke offers valuable insights into the impairments that might influence outcomes during neurorehabilitation.

Cardiometabolic effects of contrast therapy: A systematic review

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity, together with associated cardiometabolic disorders, underscores the need for additional strategies alongside established interventions. The growing popularity of contrast therapy – alternating exposure to heat and cold, a practice common in traditional Finnish sauna bathing – has prompted ...

Microvascular endothelial function is blunted in postmenopausal females with frequent hot flushes

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hot flushes of menopause are associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) and diminished macrovascular endothelial function, an initiating factor in the onset of atherosclerosis. Whether microvascular endothelial function is impaired in females with hot flushes, however, remains unknown.
