Sentence examples for sympathetic functions from inspiring English sources

Appropriate restoration of impaired ANS and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS) functioning, for example, by enhancement of vagal output, via an increased the BRS index, and by suppression of sympathetic functions, may be of benefit to the body.

For example, nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is accompanied by an augmentation of vagal regulation, whereas rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep is accompanied by activation of sympathetic functions [ 6– 8].

We assessed the effects of SCS on cardiac sympathetic function in these patients.

QTvi, a non-invasive indicator of cardiac repolarization lability, appears to be a useful tool to study cardiac sympathetic function.

Studies using heart rate (HR) and QT interval variability measures suggest a decreased cardiac vagal function and a relatively increased sympathetic function in anxiety.

Furthermore, the plasma adrenaline concentration was significantly lower in TETRA when compared with the other subgroups with intact sympathetic function (P < 0.001).

These results provide the first evidence that endogenous testosterone deprivation in rats significantly worsened cardiac sympathetic function during pathophysiological changes associated with heart failure, and testosterone replacement reversed these adverse effects.

Of note, some patients show during the attack symptoms related to dopamine receptor stimulation such as yawning, somnolence and vomiting or to reduced sympathetic function such hypotension and, occasionally, syncope [2,3].

Exclusion criteria were use of tobacco products or any medication that could affect sympathetic function, active infection at the injection site, known allergies to medications, previous neck surgeries, Raynaud's disease or Raynaud's phenomena, and coagulopathy.

Adrenaline and sTest data were analysed using non-parametric Friedman tests for each group separately; adrenaline differences were assessed using Mann-Whitney U tests between TETRA and the other two subgroups (with intact sympathetic function) combined.

Our results demonstrate that CRF/CRF1R activation may contribute to the adaptive changes induced by naloxone-precipitated withdrawal in the heart and in the brain areas which modulate the cardiac sympathetic function and suggest that CRF/CRF1R pathways could be contributing to cardiovascular disease associated to opioid addiction.
