Sex differences in physiological responses to various stressors, including exercise, have
been well documented. However, the specific impact of these differences on exposure to …

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

Sleep apnea (SA) is a very prevalent sleep breathing disorder mainly characterized by
intermittent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation, with ensuing systemic inflammation …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)
causes increased arterial pressure (AP), sympathetic overactivity and changes in expiratory …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with
many cardiovascular complications. Similar to OSA, chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)(a …

Mammals must continuously regulate the levels of O2 and CO2, which is particularly
important for the brain. Failure to maintain adequate O2/CO2 homeostasis has been …

Study Objectives: Cardiovascular comorbidities in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are difficult
to treat, perhaps due to autonomic dysfunction. We assessed beat-to-beat blood pressure …

Introduction Sex-specific patterns in respiratory conditions, such as asthma, COPD, cystic
fibrosis, obstructive sleep apnea, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, have been previously …

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) are very useful tools for evaluating the
status of research on a given topic in medical sciences [1, 2]. Although SRMAs are primarily …

Sex-related differences in respiratory modulation of sympathetic activity have been observed
in rodent models of sleep apnea [intermittent hypoxia (IH)]. In light of sex disparities in the …
