The adventitia, the outer layer of the blood vessel wall, may be the most complex layer of the
wall and may be the master regulator of wall physiology and pathobiology. This review …

Inotropes and vasopressors are biologically and clinically important compounds that
originate from different pharmacological groups and act at some of the most fundamental …

The small arteries play an important functional role in establishing the increased peripheral
resistance found in essential hypertension. This paper concerns the direct measurement of …

Low-specific-activity iodine-131–radiolabeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-131-MIBG) was
introduced last century as a potential systemic therapy for patients with malignant …

The control of vascular resistance and tissue perfusion reflect coordinated changes in the
diameter of feed arteries and the arteriolar networks they supply. Against a background of …

There is now compelling evidence indicating that there is a greater sympathetic innervation
of blood vessels in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) when compared with the …

In this review I have presented evidence that vascular capacitance can be controlled by a
number of cardiovascular reflexes. In particular, changes in the stimulus to baroreceptors …

Water transport during peritoneal dialysis (PD) requires ultrasmall pores in the capillary
endothelium of the peritoneum and is impaired in the case of peritoneal inflammation. The …

The relative contribution of postjunctional alpha 1-and alpha 2-adrenoceptors to constriction
of microvessels was examined during sympathetic nerve stimulation and sympathetic …

We studied alterations in structural and mechanical properties of mesenteric arterial
resistance vessels from young (6-week) and old (50-week) spontaneously hypertensive …
