The renal nerves are the communication link between the central nervous system and the
kidney. In response to multiple peripheral and central inputs, efferent renal sympathetic …

Efferent renal innervation is composed of postganglionic sympathetic fibers to the renal
arterioles, juxtaglomerular apparatus, and renal tubules. Increased efferent renal …

Association between gut dysbiosis and neurogenic diseases, such as hypertension, has
been described. The aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in the gut …

Our previous studies demonstrated that the sexually dimorphic pattern of hypertension in the
spontaneously hypertensive rat is androgen dependent. Gonadectomy retards the …

In this review, we attempt to outline the age-dependent interactions of principal systems
controlling the structure and function of the cardiovascular system in immature rats …

Elevated blood pressure (BP), or hypertension, is the main risk factor for cardiovascular
disease. As a multifactorial and systemic disease that involves multiple organs and systems …

Most forms of hypertension are associated with a wide variety of functional changes in the
hypothalamus. Alterations in the following substances are discussed: catecholamines …

This book presents a new homeostatic theory of stress and distress and uses it to explain
how systems using the endogenous catecholamines—norepinephrine, epinephrine, and …

Aim Butyrate is a major gut microbiota‐derived metabolite. Reduced butyrate‐producing
bacteria has been reported in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), a model of …

Neurogenic factors and, in particular, enhanced renal sympathetic tone, have been
implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat of the …
