Some Aspects of Cardiovascular Nervous Control in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Central and Peripheral Mechanisms

  • Chapter
Topics in Pathophysiology of Hypertension

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 30))

Abstract

For decades, our group has been engaged in studies of central, reflex, and peripheral nervous influences on cardiovascular function, mainly because they reflect by far the most differentiated, powerful, and swift of all control systems involved [1–3]. For example, at the limbic-hypothalamic level, nervous and hormonal mechanisms are linked together to form highly specific psychoemotional response patterns, each elicited by the appropriate type of environmental stimuli and, in their actions, often overswaying the reflex control level [3].
