Aortic stiffness contributes to greater pressor responses during static hand grip exercise in healthy young and middle-aged normotensive men
Auton Neurosci. 2023 Jul 5;248:103106. doi: 10.1016/j.autneu.2023.103106. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCentral arterial stiffness can influence exercise blood pressure (BP) by increasing the rise in arterial pressure per unit increase in aortic inflow. Whether central arterial stiffness influences the pressor response to isometric handgrip exercise (HG) and post-exercise muscle ischemia (PEMI), two common laboratory tests to study sympathetic control of BP, is unknown. We studied 46 healthy non-hypertensive males (23 young and 23 middle-aged) during HG (which increases in cardiac output [Q̇c]) and isolated metaboreflex a...

Enhancement of muscarinic receptor-mediated excitation in spontaneously hypertensive rat adrenal medullary chromaffin cells
Auton Neurosci. 2023 Jul 10;248:103108. doi: 10.1016/j.autneu.2023.103108. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne of the mechanisms for hypertension is an increase in blood catecholamines due to increased secretion from sympathetic nerve terminals and adrenal medullary chromaffin (AMC) cells. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) are used as an animal model of hypertension. Catecholamine secretion in AMC cells occurs in response to humoral factors and neuronal inputs from the sympathetic nerve fibres. Acetylcholine (ACh) released from the nerve terminals activates nicotinic as well as muscarinic ACh receptors. The present expe...

Sympathetic and angiotensinergic activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats treated with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole
Auton Neurosci. 2023 Jul 9;248:103107. doi: 10.1016/j.autneu.2023.103107. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious studies from our laboratory have shown that the pressor response to intracerebroventricular (icv) administered ANG II in normotensive rats or spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) is attenuated by increased central H2O2 concentration, produced either by direct H2O2 icv injection or by increased endogenous H2O2 centrally in response to local catalase inhibition with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATZ). In the present study, we evaluated the effects of ATZ administered peripherally on arterial pressure and sympathetic a...
