The concept of targeting the renal sympathetic nerves therapeutically to lower blood pressure (BP) is based on their crucial role in regulating both renal and cardiovascular control. These effects are mainly mediated via three major mechanisms including alteration of renal blood flow, renin-release, and Na+ retention. Initial surgical approaches ap...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of exercise training (ET) on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and executive performance during Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT) also referred to as mental stress test. METHODS: Forty-four individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and no significant co-morbidities were randomized into 2 groups; 15 indi...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a life-threating viral infection that is highly transmissible and be lethal. Although many patients with mild symptoms recover, an acute form of the infection is characterized by rapidly evolving respiratory failure, an acute inflammatory response, organ failure, and death. Herein, we ...

Sleep is a recuperative process, and its dysregulation has cognitive, metabolic, and immunological effects that are largely deleterious to human health. Epidemiological and empirical studies have suggested that sleep fragmentation (SF) as result of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep abnormalities leads to pronounced inflammatory response...

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity is a core and central component of emotion and motivated action. The myriad social and cognitive challenges faced by humans require flexible modulation of ANS activity for different contexts. In this study, simultaneous activity of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system was measured using respirat...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in chronic low back pain and neuropathic pain. Seventy-four patients aged 18-65 with chronic low back pain were included in the study. Baseline measurements were performed, and patients were randomized into three groups. The first group r...

Myocardial infarction (MI) and osteoporotic fracture are leading causes of morbidity and mortality, and epidemiological evidence linking their incidence suggests possible crosstalk. MI can exacerbate atherosclerosis through the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation and β3 adrenoreceptor-mediated release of hematopoietic stem cells, leading to...

OBJECTIVE: Neuroimmune interactions between the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and macrophages are required for the homeostasis of multiple tissues, including the adipose tissue. It has been proposed that the SNS maintains adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) in an anti-inflammatory state via direct norepinephrine (NE) signaling to macrophages. This...

Elevated nocturnal blood pressure (BP) and nocturnal non-dipping are frequently observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are stronger predictors of cardiovascular complications and CKD progression than standard office BP. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is thought to modulate diurnal hemodynamic changes and the vascular endot...

Parents can influence children's emotional responses through direct and subtle behavior. In this study we examined how parents' acute stress responses might be transmitted to their 7- to 11-year-old children and how parental emotional suppression would affect parents' and children's physiological responses and behavior. Parents and their children (...
