An important way to understand the effects of native neurochemicals in the autonomic system is in considering the effects of pharmaceutical drugs. This can be considered in terms of how drugs change autonomic function. These effects will primarily be based on how drugs act at the receptors of th...
The cell body of the first neurone is situated within the central nervous system, and the fibre of this cell runs out to synapse with the second cell, whose axon then terminates on the innervated organ, gland or blood vessel. The neurotransmitters and receptors in this two-cell chain are ...

(EAS). Traditionally, the autonomic nervous system has been viewed as consisting of the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system. Over the past century, however, neuroendocrine and neuroimmune systems have come to the fore, justifying expansion of...
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates tissue homeostasis and remodelling through antagonistic effects of noradrenergic sympathetic and cholinergic parasympathetic signalling. Despite numerous reports on the induction of sympathetic neurons from hu

19 mortality and the multi-organ—and therefore multi-disciplinary—aspects of the disease. The thesis is that both of these aspects may reflect dysautonomia, broadly defined as a condition where changes in functioning of one or more components of the autonomic nervous system adversely affect ...

It should be noted that the group of women over age 50 years in our study was similar, in terms of clas- sic cardiovascular risk factors, to the other study subgroups: no differences were found in the prescrip- tion of antiplatelet, statin, and antihypertensive drugs compared to men over...
