    • The autonomic nervous system and renal physiology 

      D’Elia, John A; Weinrauch, Larry A (Dove Medical Press, 2013)
      Research in resistant hypertension has again focused on autonomic nervous system denervation – 50 years after it had been stopped due to postural hypotension and availability of newer drugs. These (ganglionic blockers) ...

    • Blood Pressure Variability and Closed-Loop Baroreflex Assessment in Adolescent Chronic Fatigue Syndrome During Supine Rest and Orthostatic Stress 

      Wyller, Vegard Bruun; Barbieri, Riccardo; Saul, J. Philip (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
      Hemodynamic abnormalities have been documented in the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), indicating functional disturbances of the autonomic nervous system responsible for cardiovascular regulation. The aim of this study was ...

    • Clustering Heart Rate Dynamics Is Associated with β-Adrenergic Receptor Polymorphisms: Analysis by Information-Based Similarity Index 

      Yang, Albert C.; Tsai, Shih-Jen; Hong, Chen-Jee; Wang, Cynthia; Chen, Tai-Jui; Liou, Ying-Jay; Gaetano, Carlo; Peng, Chung-Kang (Public Library of Science, 2011)
      Background: Genetic polymorphisms in the gene encoding the β-adrenergic receptors (β -AR) have a pivotal role in the functions of the autonomic nervous system. Using heart rate variability (HRV) as an indicator of autonomic ...

    • Differences in Heart Rate Variability Associated with Long-Term Exposure to NO2 

      Dietrich, Denise Felber; Gemperli, Armin; Gaspoz, Jean-Michel; Schindler, Christian; Rochat, Thierry; Barthélémy, Jean-Claude; Pons, Marco; Roche, Frédéric; Probst Hensch, Nicole M.; Bridevaux, Pierre-Olivier; Gerbase, Margaret W.; Neu, Urs; Ackermann-Liebrich, Ursula; Liu, L.-J. Sally; Gold, Diane R.; Schwartz, Joel David (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
      Background: Heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of cardiac autonomic tone, has been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Short-term studies have shown that subjects exposed to higher traffic-associated ...

    • A Genome-Wide Screen to Identify Transcription Factors Expressed in Pelvic Ganglia of the Lower Urinary Tract 

      Wiese, Carrie B.; Ireland, Sara; Fleming, Nicole L.; Georgas, Kylie; Chiu, Han Sheng; Brennan, Jane; Armstrong, Jane; Little, Melissa H.; Southard-Smith, E. Michelle; Yu, Jing; Valerius, Michael Todd; McMahon, Andrew P. (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)
      Relative positions of neurons within mature murine pelvic ganglia based on expression of neurotransmitters have been described. However the spatial organization of developing innervation in the murine urogenital tract (UGT) ...
