Arteries and arterioles exhibit myogenic tone, a partially constricted state that allows further
constriction or dilation in response to moment-to-moment fluctuations in blood pressure. The …

Gender differences in the incidence of stroke and migraine appear to be related to
circulating levels of estrogen; however, the underlying mechanisms are not yet understood …

Cognitive decline is linked to decreased cerebral blood flow, particularly in women after
menopause. Impaired cerebrovascular function precedes the onset of dementia, possibly …

menopause. Impaired cerebrovascular function precedes the onset of dementia, possibly …

Aims The myogenic reactivity of the middle cerebral arteries (MCA) protects the brain by
altering the diameter in response to changes in lumen pressure. Large conductance …

Second-order middle cerebral arteries (135.0±4.6 μm ID) from male, female, ovariectomized
female (no endogenous estrogen), and estrogen-treated ovariectomized female Sprague …

In this study, we compared endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-mediated cerebral
vasodilating responses in intact female rats, chronically ovariectomized (OVX) rats, and OVX …

Gender and estrogen status are known to influence the incidence and severity of
cerebrovascular disease. The vasoprotective effects of estrogen are thought to include both …

Gender is known to influence the incidence and severity of cerebrovascular disease. In the
present study, luminal diameter was measured in vitro in pressurized middle cerebral artery …

Although adult females are protected, the cerebrovascular disease is greater in aged post-
menopause females than in age matched males, but the role of vascular function and large …
