The baroreceptor reflex is a fascinating medical phenomenon. The reflex is controlled by specialized neurons that react in just a fraction of a second to keep blood pressure fairly consistent. For ...
Pharmacology researchers found that a recently identified enzyme in the brain plays a critically important role in the central regulation of blood pressure. The researchers showed that ...
New insight into how cells sense blood pressure could present better targets for treating hypertension. The baroreceptor reflex is a fascinating medical phenomenon. The reflex is controlled by ...
The autonomic nervous system innervates all body organs, including the cardiovascular system. Smooth muscle in arteries, arterioles, and veins and pericytes in capillaries receive autonomic ...

The physiologic mechanisms involved in the human's adaptation to endurance exercise training result in the endurance exercise trained individual having high maximal oxygen uptakes (V͘O2max) and being ...
New research suggests that young women with a family history of high blood pressure (hypertension) have decreased baroreflex function, which may increase their risk for hypertension later in life. The ...
Background: Epidemiologic studies suggest a positive association between fine particulate matter and arterial blood pressure, but the results have been inconsistent. Objectives: We investigated the ...
