Recent animal studies have reported that exercise pressor reflex (EPR)-mediated increases in blood pressure are exaggerated in hypertensive (HTN) rodents. Whether these findings can be extended to… (More)
The exercise pressor reflex (EPR) is composed of the mechanoreflex and the metaboreflex and has been shown to be overactive in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The aim of the present study was to… (More)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between osmolality and efferent sympathetic outflow in humans. We hypothesized that increased plasma osmolality would be associated with… (More)
Hypertensive (HTN) animal models demonstrate lower venous compliance as well as increased venous tone and responsiveness compared with normotensive (NTN) controls. However, the extent to which… (More)
The purpose of this study was to determine if plasma osmolality alters baroreflex control of sympathetic activity when controlling for a change in intravascular volume; we hypothesized that… (More)
