Effect of testosterone replacement or duration of castration on baroreflex bradycardia in conscious rats
Ward, Gregg R.; Abdel-Rahman, Abdel A. (East Carolina University, 2005-03-30)Background: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that 17β-estradiol contributes to testosterone-mediated restoration of baroreflex-mediated bradycardia in short-term (3 weeks) castrated rats. Further, a reported increase ... -
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 ...
