Alterations in carotid baroreflex control of arterial blood pressure during the menstrual cycle in young women [abstract]
(2010)Limited studies have suggested that menstrual cycle variations in sex hormones may influence arterial baroreflex control of heart rate (HR) and sympathetic nerve activity, however, results are equivocal. In addition, the ... -
Coupling of spontaneous changes in muscle sympathetic nerve activity to blood pressure in humans : potential influence of age [abstract]
(2010)Previous studies indicate a 5.5 second latency between a burst of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and the resultant peak blood pressure response, which averages up to 3 mmHg. Aging may attenuate α-adrenergic ... -
The effects of sex and ovarian hormones on arterial baroreflex control of blood pressure in humans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The arterial baroreceptors are responsible for mediating rapid reflex adjustments to acute cardiovascular stressors via modulating autonomic nervous ... -
Hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes : impact on neural cardiovascular control
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often characterized by chronic hypertension and exaggerated increases in arterial blood pressure (BP) during exercise. However, ... -
Insulin-mediated increases in arterial baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity following meal intake in humans [abstract]
(2010)Animal studies indicate that insulin enhances arterial baroreflex (ABR) control of sympathetic nerve activity (SNA); however, the extent to which these findings can be extrapolated to humans is unknown. To begin to address ... -
Metabolic and autonomic nervous system effects of bariatric surgery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Despite avid attempts, non-surgical methods such as diet aids, behavioral modification and exercise are typically unsuccessful in achieving long term ... -
A role for insulin in the central control of sympathetic nerve activity in humans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Although well recognized for the regulation of peripheral metabolism, an emerging body of literature has begun to also establish a role for insulin in neural-cardiovascular control. In this regard, direct administration ... -
The role of spontaneous bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity in mediating peripheral vascular responses and cardiovascular hemodynamics in resting man
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The ability for sympathetic nerve activity to dynamically evoke vasoconstriction is paramount for the regulation of blood flow and blood pressure. ... -
Selective attenuation of carotid-cardiac responses to hypertension at the onset of static handgrip in humans [abstract]
(2010)Previous studies have indicated that at the onset of exercise cardiac baroreflex function is reduced in an intensity-dependent manner, which appears to be mediated by a blunted ability to buffer hypertensive challenges. ...
