Parasympathetic nervous system in nocturnal asthma. [PDF]
BMJ, 1988 To investigate the effect of vagal blockade with atropine on nocturnal fall in peak expiratory flow rate 10 patients with asthma who had a diurnal variation in peak expiratory flow rate of greater than 20% were given 30 micrograms/kg of intravenous atropine or a placebo at 4 am and 4 pm. Vagal blockade caused significant bronchodilatation at 4 am and 4

Angiotensin II and the Cardiac Parasympathetic Nervous System in Hypertension. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) impacts cardiovascular homeostasis via direct actions on peripheral blood vessels and via modulation of the autonomic nervous system. To date, research has primarily focused on the actions of the RAAS on the sympathetic nervous system. Here, we review the critical role of the RAAS on parasympathetic nerve

The Parasympathetic Nervous System in the Quest for Stroke Therapeutics [PDF]
Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2011 Stroke is a devastating neurovascular disease with limited therapeutic options. The pathogenesis of stroke involves complex interrelated molecular mechanisms including excitotoxicity, oxidative and nitrosative stress, cortical spreading depolarizations, inflammation, necrosis, and apoptosis.

Parasympathetic nervous system dysfunction in primary Sjogren's syndrome [PDF]
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2003 In the past sicca syndromes were attributed to destruction of glandular tissue. It is now thought that cytokines, autoantibodies, and parasympathetic nervous system dysfunction all have an important role in the xerostomia and xerophthalmia in Sjögren's syndrome.

A Role of the Parasympathetic Nervous System in Cognitive Training. [PDF]
Curr Alzheimer Res, 2017 Vision-based speed of processing (VSOP) training can result in broad cognitive improvements in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). What remains unknown, however, is what neurophysiological mechanisms account for the observed training effect. Much of the work in this area has focused on the central nervous system, neglecting the

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2021 After exercise training, improvement in cognitive function is associated with high parasympathetic nervous activity. However, the relationship between cardiac autonomic nervous activity and cognitive function after acute exercise may differ from that ...
