OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of estrogen exerted through the autonomic system in
the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) on increasing the sensitivity of the baroreflex under …

Background: Arterial baroreflex (ABR) is an important factor in preventing of blood pressure
fluctuations that determined by baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). Estrogen is an ovarian hormone …

Female mammals have an enhanced baroreflex sensitivity compared with their male
counterparts, leading researchers to speculate that estrogen modulates autonomic tone …

We have recently shown that estrogen enhances baroreceptor control of reflex bradycardia
in conscious rats. The present study replicated this finding in pentobarbital sodium …

The following experiments examine the role of estrogen as a central modulator of autonomic
tone and baroreflex sensitivity in the female rat. Female Sprague–Dawley rats were …

The current investigation examines the significance of estrogen in central cardiovascular
regulatory nuclei in modulating autonomic tone and baroreceptor reflex function …

The current investigation examines the effect of acute and chronic estrogen administration
on baroreflex sensitivity and autonomic tone following 2 h of vagal afferent stimulation in …

The effects of chronic treatment with 17β-estradiol on baroreflex control of sympathetic
activity were examined in conscious unrestrained ovariectomized rats. Baroreflex function …

It has been suggested that estrogen modulates baroreflex regulation of autonomic function.
The present study evaluated the effects of estrogen on baroreflex regulation of heart rate in …

This study characterizes neural firing activity of the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and
baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats relative to control …
