Renal sensory nerves are important in the regulation of body fluid and electrolyte
homeostasis, and blood pressure. Activation of renal mechanoreceptor afferents triggers a …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) causes recurrent apnea and intermittent hypoxia
at night, leading to several complications such as cognitive dysfunction. However, the …

Some patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis present impaired ventilatory variables
characterised by low forced vital capacity values associated with an increase in respiratory …

Background: Burn injury induces long-term skeletal muscle pathology. We hypothesized
EPO could attenuate burn-induced muscle fiber atrophy. Methods: Rats were allocated into …

Erythropoietin (EPO) regulates respiration under conditions of normoxia and hypoxia
through interaction with the respiratory centers of the brainstem. Here we investigate the …

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in the coordination of several
physiological functions including sleep/wake process. Significant changes in ANS activity …

Background: miRNAs have been reported to participate in various diseases. Nevertheless,
the expression patterns of miRNA in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-induced kidney injury …

Background EPO (erythropoietin) and PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) families are
thought to be associated with angiogenesis under hypoxic condition. The sharp rise of …

The sympathetic nervous system is important in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis.
Elevated cardiovascular-related sympathetic activity can lead to neurogenic hypertension …
