The introduction of duplex Doppler ultrasound almost half a century ago signified a
revolutionary advance in the ability to assess limb blood flow in humans. It is now widely …

The technique of microneurography and the assessment of muscle sympathetic nerve
activity (MSNA) are used in laboratories throughout the world. The variables used to …

Physical inactivity promotes the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, few data
exist examining the vascular consequences of short-term reductions in daily physical …

Blacks have the highest prevalence of hypertension, putting them at greater risk of
cardiovascular disease and death. Previous studies have reported that, relative to whites …

Ever since their origin more than one half-century ago, microneurographic recordings of
sympathetic nerve activity have significantly advanced our understanding of the generation …

Previous studies have reported exaggerated increases in arterial blood pressure during
exercise in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. However, little is known regarding the underlying …

Bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and the ensuing vasoconstriction are
pivotal determinants of beat-by-beat blood pressure regulation. Although age and sex …

Purpose Sympathetic vasoconstriction plays a major role in the beat-to-beat control of blood
pressure. To be effective and thus avoid dangerously high or low blood pressures, this …

Methods. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that sympathetic responses during exercise are
augmented in PMW compared to young women (YW), and estradiol administration …

As a primary component of homeostasis, the sympathetic nervous system enables rapid
adjustments to stress through its ability to communicate messages among organs and cause …
