  2. 1. Sleep disordered breathing : Natural evolution and metabolism

    Author : Ahmed Elmasry; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; snoring; sleep apnea; epidemiology; obesity; diabetes; catecholamines; hypertension; evolution; population-based; prospective; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Sleep disordered breathing is manifested by snoring and repeated episodes of apneas and hypopneas. The induced hypoxia and sleep fragmentation are thought to be responsible for many metabolic disturbances.In 1984, 3,201 men aged 30 to 69 answered a questionnaire on snoring, sleep disorders and somatic diseases. In 1994, 2,668 of the survivors (89. READ MORE

  4. 2. Stress system function in abdominal obesity. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system in middle-aged men

    Author : Thomas Ljung; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Abdominal obesity; stress; HPA axis; cortisol; glucocorticoid receptors; sympathetic nervous system; catecholamines; depression; SSRI;

    Abstract : Background: There is a strong relationship between central (abdominal, visceral) obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and elevated blood pressure. These abnormalities are included in the term Metabolic Syndrome, and indicate an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2. READ MORE

  5. 3. Psychobiological responses in women with regional or widespread musculoskeletal pain conditions

    Author : Roberto Riva; Petra Lindfors; Steven J. Linton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; fibromyalgia; shoulder and neck pain; salivary cortisol; urinary catecholamines; cardiovascular responses; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are very common. Regional chronic shoulder and neck pain (SNP) and widespread chronic pain due to fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) are examples of MSDs characterized by altered physiology of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

  6. 4. The role of catecholamines in regulation of renal tubular sodium transport

    Author : Ulla Holtbäck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : sodium balance; Na ; H -antiporter; Na ; K -ATPase; renal proximaltubules; hormonal regulation.;

    Abstract : Renal sodium metabolism, a major determinant of arterial blood pressure, is regulated with remarkable precision by a variety of endocrine, autocrine and neuronal factors. All these factors are known to regulate sodium metabolism by affecting the rate of renal tubular sodium reabsorption. READ MORE

  7. 5. Prognostic implications of exercise induced and ambulatory ischemia in patients with stable angina pectoris

    Author : Lennart Forslund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : angina pectoris; exercise testing; ambulatory ECG; signs of ischemia; heart rate variability; catecholamines; metoprolol; verapamil; prognosis;

    Abstract : Results from exercise testing and ambulatory ECG registration were studied in 809 patients with stable angina pectoris; special attention was paid to signs of ischemia during both tests. Autonomic nervous system activity was investigated by measurements of heart rate variability (HRV) and catecholamines in plasma and urine. READ MORE
