Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic Activation in Chronic Renal Failure
Markus P. Schlaich,Flora Socratous,Sarah Hennebry,Nina Eikelis,Elisabeth Lambert,Nora E. Straznicky,Murray D. Esler,Gavin Lambert +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of potential mechanisms underlying sympathetic activation in chronic kidney disease, the range of adverse consequences associated with this activation, and potential therapeutic implications resulting from this relationship are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Sympathetic Activation in Obesity-Related Hypertension
Murray D. Esler,Nora E. Straznicky,Nina Eikelis,Kazuko Masuo,Gavin Lambert,Elisabeth Lambert +5 more
TL;DR: The proposition that obesity is characterized by activation of the sympathetic nervous system and that obesity-related hypertension is, in fact, neurogenic, being initiated and sustained by neural mechanisms is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions Between Leptin and the Human Sympathetic Nervous System
TL;DR: Results provide some support for the view that leptin stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, at least for renal sympathetic outflow, but do not confirm the concept of regulatory feedback inhibition of leptin release by the sympathetic nerve system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic Nervous System Activity Is Associated With Obesity-Induced Subclinical Organ Damage in Young Adults
Elisabeth Lambert,Carolina I. Sari,Tye Dawood,Julie Nguyen,Mariee McGrane,Nina Eikelis,Reena Chopra,Chiew Wong,Kanella Chatzivlastou,Geoff Head,Nora E. Straznicky,Murray D. Esler,Markus P. Schlaich,Gavin W. Lambert +13 more
TL;DR: Sympathetic activity is closely associated with cardiovascular and renal alterations observed in these subjects, and subclinical alterations in renal and endothelial function, as well as in the structure of the heart, even in the absence of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ephedrine activates brown adipose tissue in lean but not obese humans
Andrew L. Carey,Melissa F. Formosa,B. Van Every,David A. Bertovic,David A. Bertovic,Nina Eikelis,Gavin W. Lambert,Victor Kalff,Stephen J. Duffy,Stephen J. Duffy,Martin H Cherk,Bronwyn A. Kingwell,Bronwyn A. Kingwell +12 more
TL;DR: BAT can be activated via acute, oral administration of the sympathomimetic ephedrine in lean, but not in obese humans.
