We tested the hypothesis that reflex responses to mechanical [increase in left atrial pressure (LAP) 0-25 mmHg] and chemical stimulation [left atrial injection of phenylbiguanide (PBG), 0.5-10 mg/kg] of cardiopulmonary receptors are greater in female…
Exercise training alters the cardiopulmonary baroreflex regulation of the circulation; however, the mechanisms responsible are unknown. One possibility is an enhanced afferent response to cardiopulmonary stimulation. We therefore tested the…
