Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the role of cortisol in stress-induced
endothelial dysfunction and impaired baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) by blocking cortisol …

During episodes of hypoxia and inflammation, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) move
into underlying tissues by initially passing between endothelial cells that line the inner …

Sustained and episodic hypoxic exposures lead, by two different mechanisms, to an
increase in ventilation after the exposure is terminated. Our aim was to investigate whether …

This study sought to identify the mechanisms of vascular relaxation that are rescued in
middle cerebral arteries (MCA) of SS. 13BN consomic rats by substituting chromosome 13 …

It is accepted that NO plays a role in hypoxic vasodilatation in several tissues. For rat
hindlimb muscle there is evidence that during systemic hypoxia endogenously released …

In 11 healthy volunteers, we evaluated, in a double-blind crossover study, whether the
vasodilation that follows isometric contraction is mediated by prostaglandins (PGs) and/or is …

The time courses of changes in cardiovascular and autonomic nervous functions during
acclimatization to hypoxia were studied in conscious Sprague–Dawley rats. The animals …

The potent vasomodulator adenosine (AD), thanks to the interaction with by A1 and A2
receptors, dilates systemic, coronary and cerebral vasculatures but exert a constrictor action …

This study was designed to test if skeletal muscle fiber composition could influence vascular
response in hypertensive rats. Muscle vessels were observed by intravital microscopy in …

In 11 healthy volunteers, we evaluated, in a double-blind, cross-over study, whether the
vasodilation that follows isometric contraction is mediated by prostaglandins PGs and/or is …
