Differential control of sympathetic outflow.
With advances in experimental techniques, the early views of the sympathetic nervous system as a monolithic effector activated globally in situations requiring a rapid and aggressive response to life-threatening danger have been eclipsed by an organizational model featuring an extensive array of functionally specific output channels that can be simultaneously activated or inhibited in combinati...
متن کاملMedullary pathways regulating sympathetic outflow: the need for more lateral thinking.
STUDIES CARRIED OUT more than 50 years ago demonstrated that electrical stimulation of sites within a large part of the dorsolateral reticular formation in the medulla oblongata can produce large increases in arterial pressure (1, 21). These early studies led to the view that neurons controlling the sympathetic outflow to the heart and blood vessels are distributed diffusely throughout this pon...
متن کاملThe sacral autonomic outflow is sympathetic.
A kinship between cranial and pelvic visceral nerves of vertebrates has been accepted for a century. Accordingly, sacral preganglionic neurons are considered parasympathetic, as are their targets in the pelvic ganglia that prominently control rectal, bladder, and genital functions. Here, we uncover 15 phenotypic and ontogenetic features that distinguish pre- and postganglionic neurons of the cr...
متن کاملCigarette smoking increases sympathetic outflow in humans.
BACKGROUND It is generally accepted that smoking increases blood pressure and inhibits muscle sympathetic nerve activity (SNA). The decrease in muscle SNA with cigarette smoking might be secondary to baroreflex responses to the pressor effect of smoking, thus obscuring a sympathetic excitatory effect of smoking. We tested the hypothesis that smoking increases sympathetic outflow. METHODS AND ...
متن کاملLeptin increasing sympathetic nerve outflow in obesity
Obesity is a global problem and effective drug therapy treatment is still unavailable. Obesity develops due to an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure (EE). Understanding what happens to EE in obesity may be the key to developing new treatments for obesity. If EE in obesity can be elevated, it could be a potential therapeutic target. We recently discovered that in baseline con...
