Studies of adipose tissue in humans with special reference to innervation by the sympathetic nervous system [PDF]

, 2009
PhDThis thesis reports the effects in vivo of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in human subcutaneous abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT) and other tissues involved in energy storage and utilisation. Cannulation of superficial veins draining skin,

The carotid body as a putative therapeutic target for the treatment of neurogenic hypertension [PDF]

, 2013
In the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat, hyperoxic inactivation of the carotid body (CB) produces a rapid and pronounced fall in both arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSA).

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary blood flow via vasa recta pericytes [PDF]

, 2013
Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins. We have previously shown that exogenous ATP causes constriction of vasa

Presynaptic actions of 4-Aminopyridine and γ-aminobutyric acid on rat sympathetic ganglia in vitro [PDF]

, 1980
Responses to bath-applications of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and -aminobutyric acid (GABA) were recorded intracellularly from neurones in the rat isolated superior cervical ganglion.

Preserved Autonomic Cardiovascular Regulation With Cardiac Pacemaker Inhibition: A Crossover Trial Using High‐Fidelity Cardiovascular Phenotyping

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundSympathetic and parasympathetic influences on heart rate (HR), which are governed by baroreflex mechanisms, are integrated at the cardiac sinus node through hyperpolarization‐activated cyclic nucleotide–gated channels (HCN4).

Differential contribution of POMC and AgRP neurons to the regulation of regional autonomic nerve activity by leptin

Molecular Metabolism, 2018
Objectives: The autonomic nervous system is critically involved in mediating the control by leptin of many physiological processes. Here, we examined the role of the leptin receptor (LepR) in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP ...

Advantage of recording single-unit muscle sympathetic nerve activity in heart failure

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Elevated sympathetic activation is a characteristic feature of heart failure (HF). Excessive sympathetic activation under resting conditions has been shown to increase from the early stages of the disease, and is related to prognosis. Direct recording of

Frequency-coded patterns of sympathetic vasomotor activity are differentially evoked by the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in the Goldblatt hypertension model

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionThe paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) contains premotor neurons involved in the control of sympathetic vasomotor activity. It is known that the stimulation of specific areas of the PVN can lead to distinct response patterns at

Renin-Angiotensin System and Sympathetic Neurotransmitter Release in the Central Nervous System of Hypertension

International Journal of Hypertension, 2012
Many Studies suggest that changes in sympathetic nerve activity in the central nervous system might have a crucial role in blood pressure control. The present paper discusses evidence in support of the concept that the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS)
