OBJECTIVE
To describe the relationships between cardiovascular and natural killer (NK) cell number changes on acute psychological stress in women.
METHOD
Data from eight different studies were… (More)
Natural killer (NK) cells are reproducibly mobilized into the circulation in response to intense physical exercise or acute psychological stress, and altered expression of adhesion molecules… (More)
This study examined how specific emotions relate to autonomic nervous and immune system parameters and whether cynical hostility moderates this relationship. Forty-one married couples participated in… (More)
Communication between cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and of the immune system is accomplished by a network of cytokines and growth factors. Certain cytokines and growth factors cause… (More)
Adhesion molecules facilitate infiltration of leukocytes into the central nervous system (CNS) of mice with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Expression of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1… (More)

RATIONALE
Impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation has been documented in patients with sleep apnea. This impairment may result in blood flow dysregulation during apnea-induced fluctuations in… (More)
BACKGROUND
Xanthine oxidase is a major source of superoxide in the vascular endothelium. Previous work in humans demonstrated improved conduit artery function following xanthine oxidase inhibition in… (More)
We determined the effects of chronic exposure to intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on chemoreflex control of ventilation in conscious animals. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to CIH [nadir… (More)
