This article provides an in-depth overview of the relationship between primary hypertension
and adult obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The background data and research are taken …

The past decade has witnessed rapid progress in defining neural circuits and mechanisms
in the brain, responsible for regulation of the sympathetic nerve activity and cardiovascular …

In the present study we analyzed the cardiovascular, respiratory and behavioral responses
evoked in rats by KCN. Hypertension, hyperpnea and alerting behavior were characteristic …

Peripheral chemoreceptor afferent information is sent to the nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS),
integrated, and relayed to other brain regions to alter cardiorespiratory function. The nTS …

Breathing is composed of multiple, distinct behaviors that are bidirectionally regulated
through autonomic and voluntary mechanisms. One behavioral component is the sigh …

Contribution of autonomic nervous system activity to the heart rate and blood pressure
responses during chemoreceptor excitations by systemic hypoxia and hypercapnia and to …

Aims The peripheral chemoreflex may be augmented in chronic heart failure and may play a
role in its pathophysiology including the mediation of exercise hyperpnoea and sympathetic …

In this issue, Fletcher et al1 report that repetitive brief hypoxia applied during a 7-hour period
per day for up to 35 days causes diurnal elevation of blood pressure in rats. This significant …

Acute exposure to low oxygen (hypoxia) places conflicting demands on the heart. Whilst an
increase in heart rate (tachycardia) may compensate systemic oxygen delivery as arterial …
