Relationship of arousals from sleep to sympathetic nervous system activity and BP in obstructive sleep apnea.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients have a high frequency of arousals. We hypothesized that arousals significantly influence tonic sympathetic nervous system function. DESIGN We examined the association of 11 variables measuring sympathetic activity, including plasma norepinephrine (NE), urinary NE, and BP measurements, with movement and cortical arousals. PATIENTS Sixty-...
متن کاملNervous System Ghrelin Modulates Sympathetic Nervous System Activity and Stress Response in Lean and Overweight Men
Ghrelin is a growth hormone–releasing peptide secreted by the stomach with potent effects on appetite. Experimental and clinical studies indicate that ghrelin also influences cardiovascular regulation and metabolic function and mediates behavioral responses to stress. We investigated the effects of ghrelin on blood pressure (BP), sympathetic nervous system activity, and mental stress responses ...
متن کاملJob strain, ethnicity, and sympathetic nervous system activity.
Several studies have demonstrated that blacks have heightened pressor sensitivity in response to the alpha-agonist, phenylephrine. However, studies examining whether psychosocial factors contribute to this difference are scarce. We examined the effects of job strain on pressor sensitivity in 76 whites and 46 blacks who were enrolled in a study of stress, sleep, and blood pressure. Responses to ...
متن کاملSympathetic nervous system activity and female sexual arousal.
The results of a series of human and animal studies that were conducted in an effort to better understand autonomic nervous system influences on female sexual arousal are presented. The effects of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation on self-report and vaginal photoplethysmographic measures of sexual arousal were examined in 4 studies using intense acute exercise, and in 1 study using ep...
متن کاملRelation of obesity and diet to sympathetic nervous system activity.
The hypothesis that dietary intake and obesity stimulate the sympathetic nervous system was investigated in a cross-sectional study of 572 men aged 43-85 years from the Normative Aging Study. Habitus was represented by body mass index, as a measure of overall adiposity, and by the ratio of abdomen-to-hip circumference (abdomen/hip ratio), as a measure of centripetal fat distribution. Sympatheti...
