SUMMARY:Sympathetic Neural Control in Humans: Sex Differences and the Ovarian Cycle
DESCRIPTION:
 Sex differences in the neural control of circulation 
 are increasingly being recognized, yet 
 underlying mechanisms remain equivocal. The 
 sympathetic nervous system is central to the 
 regulation of both short- and long-term blood 
 pressure, and evidence is beginning to emerge 
 indicating altered sympathetic neural activity 
 (and reactivity) not only between men and 
 women, but also within women at various stages 
 of the ovarian cycle. This seminar will explore 
 the influence of sex and the ovarian cycle 
 on post-ganglionic sympathetic neural outflow 
 in humans via the technique of microneurography. 
 More specifically, Dr. Carter will compare 
 sympathetic neural control and reactivity 
 in 1) young men and women, and 2) premenopausal 
 women during high and low levels of estradiol 
 and progesterone. These findings will 
 be discussed as they pertain to increased risk 
 of orthostatic intolerance in young women, 
 as well as the post-menopausal surge in cardiovascular 
 disease.\n\n
