Mechanisms for central cannabinoid receptor 1 evoked sympathoexcitation/pressor response in conscious rats
Ibrahim, Badr Mostafa Sadek (East Carolina University, 2010)The main goal of the current study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms implicated in central cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R)-evoked sympathoexcitation/pressor response. In pursuit of this goal, the candidate first ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Peripheral N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Mediated Pressor Response
McGee, Marie (East Carolina University, 2012)The primary goal of this study was to characterize the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor within the cardiovascular system and elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in peripheral NMDA receptor-mediated pressor ... -

Orchiectomy or androgen receptor blockade attenuates baroreflex-mediated bradycardia in conscious rats
Ward, Gregg R.; Abdel-Rahman, Abdel A. (East Carolina University, 2006-01)Background: Previous studies have shown that testosterone enhances baroreflex bradycardia. Therefore, conscious unrestrained rats were used to investigate the role of the androgen receptor in the testosterone-mediated ... -
