Mesenteric vascular responses to vasopressin during development of DOCA-salt hypertension in male and female rats.

Deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension develops to a greater extent in male (M) than in female (F) rats. To determine the role of the vasculature, reactivity to arginine vasopressin (AVP) and prostanoid output were examined in the…

Daily spontaneous running alters behavioral and neurochemical indexes of nigrostriatal function.

Behavioral and neurochemical indexes of nigrostriatal dopaminergic function were compared between sedentary control rats (n = 12) and daily spontaneous running (DSR) male rats (n = 10). Nine weeks of DSR did not significantly alter body, heart,…

Role of EDRF in the cardiopulmonary dysfunction produced by massive sympathetic activation.

This study was undertaken to determine whether endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) modulates the pulmonary and systemic hemodynamic responses to massive sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation and, in so doing, also modulates the degree of…

Acute exercise attenuates cardiac autonomic regulation in hypertensive rats.

Dynamic exercise may be used as a safe, therapeutic approach to reduce sympathetic nerve activity at rest and thus may be beneficial for individuals with hypertension. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that a single bout of mild to moderate dynamic…

A practical approach to hirsutism.

Women often express concern about what they consider to be excess body or facial hair. This surplus of hair may be normal or it may signal hypertrichosis or hirsutism. Hirsutism may be idiopathic, secondary to increased responsiveness of hair…
