Arterial baroreceptors in the carotid sinuses and aortic arch are stimulated by vascular
stretch during increases in arterial pressure. Resetting of the baroreflex can be defined as a …

Because of resetting, a role for baroreflexes in long-term control of arterial pressure has
been commonly dismissed in the past. However, in recent years, this perspective has …

It is widely recognized that the arterial baroreceptors play a key role in the operation of the
cardiovascular function and reflex regulation of blood pressure under normal and …

1. Pressure threshold (Pth) and suprathreshold pressure sensitivity (Sth) are important
measures of the pressure-discharge characteristics of arterial baroreceptors. An in vitro …

Arterial baroreceptors are reset when their afferent nerve activity is reduced at an equivalent
arterial pressure and vascular strain. Resetting occurs as a result of stretch of the …

A change in the arterial pressure-sympathetic activity or heart rate relation (baroreflex
resetting) can result from resetting of baroreceptors ('peripheral'resetting) or from an altered …

Explores a variety of studies concerning baroreceptors and blood pressure control.
Overview of the experiments; Link between baroreceptor resetting and human hypertension; …

The arterial baroreflex has two important functions. First, the arterial baroreflex is a negative
feedback reflex that regulates arterial pressure around a preset value called a set or …

There is now considerable evidence that the sympathetic nervous system plays a key role in
the pathogenesis of primary hypertension, but the determinants of sympathetic activation are …

This study evaluated acute resetting of carotid baroreflex control of arterial blood pressure
and renal or thoracic sympathetic nerve activity in thiopental-anesthetized mongrel dogs …
