Resting parasympathetic nervous system activity is associated with greater antiviral gene expression

Brain, behavior, and immunity, 2021
Parasympathetic nervous system activity can downregulate inflammation, but it remains unclear how parasympathetic nervous system activity relates to antiviral activity.

Regulation of Blood Flow in the Cerebral Posterior Circulation by Parasympathetic Nerve Fibers: Physiological Background and Possible Clinical Implications in Patients With Vertebrobasilar Stroke

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Posterior circulation involves the vertebrobasilar arteries, which supply oxygen and glucose to vital human brainstem structures and other areas. This complex circulatory- perfusion system is not homogenous throughout the day; rather, its hemodynamic ...

Slow deep breathing modulates cardiac vagal activity but does not affect peripheral glucose metabolism in healthy men

Scientific Reports, 2021
Parasympathetic nervous system innervates peripheral organs including pancreas, hepatic portal system, and gastrointestinal tract. It thereby contributes to the regulation of whole-body glucose metabolism especially in the postprandial state when it ...

Interplay Between Systemic Metabolic Cues and Autonomic Output: Connecting Cardiometabolic Function and Parasympathetic Circuits

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
There is consensus that the heart is innervated by both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. However, the role of the parasympathetic nervous system in controlling cardiac function has received significantly less attention than the ...

Association of decreased variation of coefficient R-R interval with ischemic colitis and small bowel obstruction.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:The parasympathetic nervous system exerts and controls intestinal tone. Several studies have suggested that the coefficient of the R-R intervals (CVRR) is useful for evaluating the parasympathetic nervous system. OBJECTIVES:This study aimed to

Baroreflex Modulation During Acute High-Altitude Exposure in Rats

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Baroreflex (BR) control is critically dependent of sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation. It has been documented that during acute hypobaric hypoxia there is a BR control impairment, however, the effect of a natural hypoxic environment on BR ...

Avaliação funcional do sistema nervoso autónomo na artrite reumatóide.

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 1993
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system evaluation was performed in 21 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Every patient had autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction, the parasympathetic involvement being the most frequent.

Autonomic Nervous System Activity During a Speech Task

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Previous research has reported that different coping types (active or passive) are required depending on the stress-inducing task. The aim of this study was to examine the autonomic nervous response during speech tasks that require active coping, by ...
