Heart rate variability (HRV) spectral analysis has been used as a tool for short-term assessment of parasympathetic (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) control of heart rate. However, it has… (More)
The dynamics of ventilation (VE), oxygen uptake (VO2), carbon dioxide output (VCO2), and heart rate (f c) were studied in 12 healthy young men during upright and supine exercise. Responses to maximal… (More)
This study investigated the effects of varying dietary levels of very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on growth, brain fatty acid composition and behavior in mice. Five groups of pregnant and… (More)
Recent studies have compared artificially reared (AR) rats with dam-reared rats on behavioral outcomes but, despite the fact that they are deprived of their mothers during the stress hyporesponsive… (More)
Four groups of male Long-Evans rats were reared artificially from postnatal d 5 to 18 by being fed through a gastrostomy tube with rat milk substitutes containing oils providing 10% linoleic acid and… (More)
The effects of correct alignment of the ventilation and fractional gas concentration during breath-by-breath calculation of oxygen uptake (VO2) have been examined during exercise in four subjects, at… (More)
The cardiovascular responses to 4 h of 6 degrees head-down tilt (HDT) were compared to those of 4 h of 30 degrees head-up tilt (HUT) following a period of 1 h baseline in the 30 degrees HUT position.… (More)
Pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) exercise tests involve repeated switching between two work rates (WR) according to a computer-generated pattern. This paper presents an approach to analysis of O2… (More)
Following space flight or head down tilt bed rest, cardiovascular deconditioning is often observed as a failure to maintain arterial blood pressure with symptoms of presyncope or syncope. LBNP can be… (More)
The objective of this study was to investigate whether dietary trans fatty acids (TFA) during the pre- and postnatal periods would exacerbate the effects of marginal essential fatty acid (EFA) status… (More)
