Ten years after the initial Climate Change Convention from Rio in 1992, the developed world is likely to ratify the Kyoto Protocol which has been celebrated as a milestone in climate protection. Standard economic theory, however, casts doubt that Kyoto will go beyond symbolic policy. In this paper we show that the final concretion of the Kyoto Protocol obeys the theoretical prediction: Kyoto mo...

The aim of this study was to examine whether control of vascular resistance by vagal afferents is altered in the early as well as late stage of hypertension. We examined the effects of vagotomy on hindlimb vascular resistance as well as on arterial baroreflex control of hindlimb vascular resistance in spontaneously hypertensive rats and Wistar-Kyoto rats, 12 and 35 weeks old. Vagotomy in rats w...

We have studied several parameters of peripheral dopamine synthesis and metabolism in spontaneously hypertensive rats during the development of hypertension. Compared to Wistar-Kyoto rats, there was an increased dopamine content in 8-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats in the adrenals (1.6 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.2 +/- 0.1 nmol/pair in Wistar-Kyoto rats) and kidneys (97 +/- 12 vs. 63 +/- 7 pmol/g ti...
