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,…
Arterial pressure, cardiac sympathetic tonus (ST), and heart rate (HR) are reduced after a single bout of dynamic exercise in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). To test if the arterial baroreflex is required for these postexercise responses,…
