Sex and gender differences in control of blood pressure.
In recent years, the interest in studying the impact of sex steroids and gender on the regulation of blood pressure and cardiovascular disease has been growing. Women are protected from most cardiovascular events compared with men until after menopause, and postmenopausal women are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications compared with premenopausal women. The pathophysiological mechan...
متن کاملLeptin and nitric oxide in blood pressure regulation in humans.
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article “Leptin in Association With Common Variants of MC3R Mediates Hypertension” by Alsmadi and colleagues1 dealing with the relationship between polymorphisms of leptin gene and blood pressure levels in humans. The results of their study demonstrated that the MC3R missense variant (rs3827103) might be associated with systolic blood pressure in K...
متن کاملNervous System Sex Differences in Sympathetic Neural-Hemodynamic Balance Implications for Human Blood Pressure Regulation
Among young normotensive men, a reciprocal balance between cardiac output and sympathetic nerve activity is important in the regulation of arterial pressure. In young women, the balance among cardiac output, peripheral resistance, and sympathetic nerve activity is unknown. Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship of cardiac output and total peripheral resistance to mu...

متن کاملGender differences in autonomic functions associated with blood pressure regulation.
Functions of carotid and aortic baroreflex control of heart rate (HR), cardiopulmonary baroreflex control of vascular resistance, adrenoreceptor responsiveness, indexes of baseline vagal and sympathetic tone, circulating blood volume, and venous compliance were compared in men and women to test the hypothesis that lower orthostatic tolerance in women would be associated with lower responsivenes...
