Abstract:Prenatal, intra‐partum or post partum exposure of a fetus to hypoxia results in structural and functional changes in cerebral arteries, known as remodeling. Sympathetic nerves have been suggested to contribute to this process. Whereas NE is suggested as the major mediator of adrenergic effects, our preliminary experiments show that there is a guanethidine‐resistant (norepinephrine‐independent) component. This study explores the hypothesis that NPY contributes to hypoxic cerebrovascular remodeling in the fetal … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
