Sex‐related differences in the peripheral vascular response to hypoxia: Implications in health and relevance for obstructive sleep apnoea

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The incidence and presentation of obstructive sleep apnoea, as well as hypertension and cardiovascular disease, have been reported to differ by sex. It is thus reasonable to propose mechanisms contributing to subsequent pathology differ by sex. This concept is supported from a pre‐pathological perspective, as sex differences have been observed

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

Experimental 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

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

Experimental 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 ...

Whole‐body hot water immersion effect on cerebral haemodynamics and subsequent cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract To test the hypothesis that hot water immersion (HWI) improves cerebrovascular function via shear‐mediated mechanisms, this study determined cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide (CVRCO2${\mathrm{CV}}{{\mathrm{R}}_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) before and after 60 min of 39°C HWI and a 21°C air control (CON) in 15 healthy ...

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...
