Differential sympathetic activation induced by intermittent hypoxia and sleep loss in rats: Action of angiotensin (1-7)
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-02-24)
The present study attempted to evaluate the effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) associated with sleep restriction in hemodynamic parameters and the plasma renin-angiotensin system. Wistar-Hannover rats were ...
