Ablation of the hypothalamic arcuate-median eminence region reduces the concentration of vasoactive intestinal peptide in the anterior pituitary gland of male rats.

This study was designed to determine the influence of the hypothalamus on the content of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the anterior pituitary. Disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary connection was performed by ablating the arcuate-median…

Absence of type VI collagen paradoxically improves cardiac function, structure, and remodeling after myocardial infarction.

RATIONALE: We previously reported that type VI collagen deposition increases in the infarcted myocardium in vivo. To date, a specific role for this nonfibrillar collagen has not been explored in the setting of myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE:…

Acute exercise and gender alter cardiac autonomic tonus differently in hypertensive and normotensive rats.

Arterial pressure (AP), heart rate (HR), cardiac sympathetic tonus (ST), and parasympathetic tonus (PT) were determined in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, 8 male and 8 female) and Wistar-Kyoto normotensive rats (WKY, 8 male and 12 female)…

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…

Acute exercise enhances nitric oxide modulation of vascular response to phenylephrine.

The influence of the release of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) on the vasoconstrictor response to phenylephrine (PE) was evaluated before and after a single bout of dynamic exercise. Each rat ran on a motor-driven treadmill at
