Journal ArticleDOI
ANG II receptor blockade and arterial baroreflex regulation of renal nerve activity in cardiac failure
TL;DR: It is suggested that increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system contributes to the increase in ERSNA and its abnormal arterial baroreflex regulation in cardiac failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hormonal-sympathetic interactions in long-term regulation of arterial pressure: an hypothesis
Virginia L. Brooks,J. W. Osborn +1 more
TL;DR: An alternate model is proposed in which circulating hormones provide a long-term afferent signal to the central nervous system via binding to specific receptors in central sites lacking a blood-brain barrier, and the role of an impaired hormonal sympathetic reflex in hypertension, specifically salt-dependent hypertension, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin acts in the arcuate nucleus to increase lumbar sympathetic nerve activity and baroreflex function in rats.
TL;DR: It is shown that a region in the hypothalamus, the arcuate nucleus, is the site at which insulin's effects are initiated, which may lead to a greater understanding of the role of insulin in the brain in adverse cardiovascular complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Translation of salt retention to central activation of the sympathetic nervous system in hypertension
TL;DR: One hypothesis is presented to explain how increased dietary salt increases sympathetic activity in SSH, and it is shown that activation of the sympathetic nervous system is a major component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between angiotensin ii and the sympathetic nervous system in the the long-term control of arterial pressure
TL;DR: The role of the renin‐angiotensin system in long‐term control of sympathetic activity and arterial pressure is reviewed and its role in clinical practice is reviewed.
