We evaluated the possibility that massive, sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation [as may precede the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE)] increases O2 demand. O2 consumption (VO2) and plasma concentrations of the calorigenic agents,…
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the increase in sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at the onset of exercise is dependent on a rapid upward shift of the operating point of the arterial baroreflex. To…
Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) may develop in individuals with head trauma or seizures and is generally thought to have a hydrostatic basis in the severe degree of pulmonary hypertension that occurs. Recently, it has been suggested that vascular…
The effect of daily spontaneous running on blood pressure homeostasis (BPH) was evaluated in 19 male and 13 female control rats and 7 male and 13 female daily spontaneous running rats subjected to surgery and subsequent repetitive hemodynamic…
