Episodic increases in cerebral blood flow (CBF) are thought to contribute to improved
cerebrovascular function and health. Head-out water immersion (HOWI) may be a useful …

In this study, we aimed to assess the ventilatory and cardiovascular responses to the
combined activation of the muscle metaboreflex and the ventilatory chemoreflex, achieved …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Is there a difference in the cerebral
vascular response to rebreathing‐induced hypercapnia between obese and lean …

The perioperative care of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients is currently receiving much
attention due to an increased risk for complications. It is established that postoperative …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? The purpose was to determine
whether acute flavanol consumption improves cerebral vasodilatory capacity during …

The present study is the first to examine the effect of high-altitude acclimatization and
reexposure on the responses of cerebral blood flow and ventilation to CO2. We also …

The effect of moderately extended, intermittent-hypoxia (IH) on cerebral perfusion during
changes in CO2 was unknown. Thus, we assessed the changes in cerebral vascular …

Platelet activation may contribute to age‐related cerebrovascular dysfunction by interacting
with the endothelial cells that regulate the response to vasodilatory stimuli. This study …

Brain PCO 2 is sensed primarily via changes in [H+]. Small pH changes are detected in the
medulla oblongata and trigger breathing adjustments that help maintain arterial PCO 2 …

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are predisposed to instability in central
ventilatory control during sleep. Increased instability, as reflected in an enhanced expired …
