Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic Fitness Affects Cardiovascular and Catecholamine Responses to Stressors
TL;DR: Blood pressure, heart rate, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and psychological responses to a film of industrial accidents, the Stroop word color task, the cold pressor test, and running to exhaustion on a treadmill in a test of the hypothesis that aerobic fitness is associated with decreased responsiveness to stressors other than exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lymphocyte Subset Redistribution in Response to Acute Experimental Stress: Effects of Gender, Ethnicity, Hypertension, and the Sympathetic Nervous System
Paul J. Mills,Charles C. Berry,JE Dimsdale,Michael G. Ziegler,Richard A. Nelesen,Brian P. Kennedy +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that traditional epidemiologic characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, and mild hypertension have limited influence on lymphocytosis and that interindividual differences in sympathetic nervous system characteristics play a more prominent underlying role in acute cellular immune system activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep apnea, norepinephrine-release rate, and daytime hypertension.
Michael G. Ziegler,Richard A. Nelesen,Paul J. Mills,Sonia Ancoli-Israel,Brian P. Kennedy,Joel E. Dimsdale +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that apneics are susceptible to transient increases in sympathetic nervous activity and that hypertensive apneic maintain increased sympathetic nervous release of NE in the daytime.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomized Clinical Trial of Behavioral Activation (BA) Therapy for Improving Psychological and Physical Health in Dementia Caregivers: Results of the Pleasant Events Program (PEP)
Raeanne C. Moore,Elizabeth A. Chattillion,Jennifer Ceglowski,Jennifer Ho,Roland von Känel,Roland von Känel,Paul J. Mills,Michael G. Ziegler,Thomas L. Patterson,Igor Grant,Brent T. Mausbach +10 more
TL;DR: The PEP program decreased depression and improved a measure of physiological health in older dementia caregivers and future research should examine the efficacy of PEP for improving other CVD biomarkers and seek to sustain the intervention's effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-reactive protein, an 'intermediate phenotype' for inflammation: Human twin studies reveal heritability, association with blood pressure and the metabolic syndrome, and the influence of common polymorphism at catecholaminergic/β-adrenergic pathway loci
Jennifer Wessel,Guillermo Moratorio,Fangwen Rao,Manjula Mahata,Lian Zhang,William Greene,Brinda K. Rana,Brian P. Kennedy,Srikrishna Khandrika,Pauline Huang,Elizabeth O. Lillie,Pei An Betty Shih,Douglas W. Smith,Gen Wen,Bruce A. Hamilton,Michael G. Ziegler,Joseph L. Witztum,Nicholas J. Schork,Geert W. Schmid-Schönbein,Geert W. Schmid-Schönbein,Daniel T. O'Connor,Daniel T. O'Connor +21 more
TL;DR: CRP secretion is substantially heritable in humans, demonstrating pleiotropy (shared genetic determination) with other features of the metabolic syndrome, such as BMI, triglycerides or BP.
