A variety of experimental approaches have been used to alter reflex parasympathetic
cardiovascular control in normal human subjects and in patients with cardiovascular …

From studies in chronically catheterized fetal sheep and other species, it can be shown that
the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is active during intra‐uterine life. Levels of angiotensin …

Objectives. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the changes in
parasympathetic tone associated with long-term angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor …

Epidemiological studies suggest that maternal cigarette smoking is associated with an
increased risk of elevated blood pressure (BP) in postnatal life. The present study tested the …

1. Action potentials were recorded in single baroreceptor fibres dissected from the carotid
sinus nerves in dogs during increases in blood pressure caused by IV injection of …

The fetus mounts a coordinated cardiovascular response to an insult of acute hypoxaemia
which involves neural and endocrine components. During acute hypoxaemia in late …

1 We have measured arterial blood pressure between 115 and 145 days gestation in
normally grown fetal sheep (control group; n= 16) and in fetal sheep in which growth was …

We have investigated the effect of a 50% reduction in maternal nutrient intake during the last
30 days of pregnancy on arterial blood pressure and on arterial blood pressure responses to …

To determine whether the duration of hypertension is an essential component in the
evolution of myocardial dysfunction, renal artery constriction was performed in male Fischer …

The focus of this chapter is the basic physiological properties of those sensory receptors that
monitor the internal state of the body as well as the methods used to study them. Its content …
