Comparison between men and women of volume regulating hormones and aquaporin-2 excretion following graded central hypovolemia
Central hypovolemia induced by orthostatic loading causes reno-vascular changes that can lead to orthostatic intolerance. In this study, we investigated volume regulating hormonal responses and reno-vascular c...

Modulation of plasma adrenomedullin by epinephrine infusion during head up tilt
We investigated whether head up tilt (HUT) with and without simultaneous epinephrine infusion modulate plasma adrenomedullin. We studied eight healthy male volunteers, using two 5 min 70° HUT trials: control (...

Patterns of Cardiovascular Control During Repeated Tests of Orthostatic Loading
To investigate patterns of cardiovascular control, a protocol of head up tilt (HUT) followed by lower body negative pressure (LBNP), which represents a significant cardiovascular control challenge, was employe...

Heart rate and stroke volume response patterns to augmented orthostatic stress
Combined head up tilt (HUT) and lower body negative pressure (LBNP) can be used to exploit the full spectrum of cardiovascular control mechanisms and to reveal characteristics of individual blood pressure cont...
