اثر استروژن و پروژسترون بر حساسیت بارورفلکس‌ها در شرایط حاد فشار خون در موش‌های صحرایی
Background: Epidemiological studies suggested that incidence of cardiovascular diseases in menopause women is more than their nonmenopausal period. The cardioprotective role of estrogen may be responsible for some of these effects. In the present study we evaluated the role of female sex hormones on baroreflex sensitivity in acute hypertension state of rat. Materials and Methods: This was an...
متن کاملEstrogen Signaling in the Adrenal Cortex
Currently, more than a quarter of the female adult world population and 3-fold more of postmenopausal women in the United Sates have arterial hypertension. Sex differences in blood pressure (BP) and rate of hypertension play an important role in the susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. Moreover, hypertension is often undiagnosed or inadequately controlled in women, especially after menopau...
متن کاملExpression of estrogen, estrogen related and androgen receptors in adrenal cortex of intact adult male and female rats.
INTRODUCTION Adrenocortical activity in various species is sensitive to androgens and estrogens. They may affect adrenal cortex growth and functioning either via central pathways (CRH and ACTH) or directly, via specific receptors expressed in the cortex and/or by interfering with adrenocortical enzymes, among them those involved in steroidogenesis. Only limited data on expression of androgen an...
متن کاملAn Uncommon Cause of Neonatal Hypertension
Background: Adrenal hematoma is a very rare acquired cause of neonatal hypertension. In this study, we report a case of neonatal hypertension associated with adrenal hematoma. A male neonate was immediately transferred to our neonatal intensive care unit after delivery due to meconium aspiration. He needed to be on mechanical ventilation support. During his hospital stay, hospital records showe...
متن کاملOvariectomy augments hypertension in aging female Dahl salt-sensitive rats.
The ovariectomized (OVX) Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rat fed a low-salt diet is a model of postmenopausal hypertension. In addition to estrogen loss, aging can also contribute to postmenopausal hypertension. We hypothesized that: (1) female DS rats on a low-salt diet become hypertensive with age; (2) ovariectomy accelerates age-dependent hypertension in the DS rat caused by estrogen depletion; and...
