Hypertension in Obese Black Women is Not Caused by Increased Sympathetic Vascular Tone
BACKGROUND Black women have one of the highest prevalence rates of hypertension and obesity in the United States. We previously reported that sympathetic activation induced by obesity is a significant contributor to hypertension in white patients. It is unknown whether sympathetic activity similarly contributes to hypertension in obese black women. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 42 obese wome...
متن کاملStatic handgrip exercise modifies arterial baroreflex control of vascular sympathetic outflow in humans.
To examine effects of static exercise on the arterial baroreflex control of vascular sympathetic nerve activity, 22 healthy male volunteers performed 2 min of static handgrip exercise at 30% of maximal voluntary force, followed by postexercise circulatory arrest (PE-CA). Microneurographic recording of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) was made with simultaneous recording of arterial pres...
متن کاملControl of intraocular blood flow. II. Effects of sympathetic tone.
The effects of sympathetic tone on ocular blood flow have not been adequately studied in the past. Recent experimental work has contradicted earlier observations. We have used nuclidelabeled microspheres to measure the intraocular blood flow. The results of the study demonstrate that the ocular vascular beds are responsive to sympathetic tone. Cervical sympathectomy increased ocular blood flow,...
متن کاملSympathetic control of the cerebral vasculature in humans.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The role of the sympathetic nervous system in cerebral autoregulation remains poorly characterized. We examined cerebral blood flow responses to augmented arterial pressure oscillations with and without sympathetic blockade and compared them with responses in the forearm circulation. METHODS An oscillatory lower body negative pressure of 40 mm Hg was used at 6 frequenci...
متن کاملPurinergic control of vascular tone in the retina.
Purinergic control of vascular tone in the CNS has been largely unexplored. This study examines the contribution of endogenous extracellular ATP, acting on vascular smooth muscle cells, in controlling vascular tone in the in vivo rat retina. Retinal vessels were labelled by i.v. injection of a fluorescent dye and imaged with scanning laser confocal microscopy. The diameters of primary arteriole...
