Stress often occurs during toxicity studies. The perception of sensory stimuli as stressful
primarily results in catecholamine release and activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary …

Emotional stress has been recognized as a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular
diseases. The impact of stress on physiological and psychological processes is determined …

BACKGROUND: Psychological stress is a significant risk factor for hypertension and also
directly affects the immune system. We have previously reported that T lymphocytes are …

The functions of the hypothalamic adrenal cortical and sympathetic adrenal medullary
systems were studied in rats with inherited stress-induced arterial hypertension (ISIAH …

We reported previously that chromogranin A (Chga) knockout (KO) mice are hypertensive
and hyperadrenergic. Here we sought to determine the basis of such alterations by probing …

Restraint stress (RS) is an experimental model to study stress-related cardiovascular
responses, characterized by sustained pressor and tachycardiac responses. We used …

We hypothesized that acute stress would induce endothelial dysfunction. Male Wistar rats
were restrained for 2 h within wire mesh. Functional and biochemical analyses were …

In the present study, we evaluated cardiac baroreflex responses of rats submitted to acute
restraint stress. The baroreflex was tested: immediately before, during a 30 min exposure to …

The present study aimed to examine whether transplacental exposure to progesterone
caused male reproductive abnormalities and whether the changes can be reversed after …

Nesfatin‐1, a peptide whose receptor is yet to be identified, has been involved in the
modulation of feeding, stress, and metabolic responses. More recently, increasing evidence …
