The effects of cerebral white matter changes on cardiovascular responses to cognitive and physical activity in a stroke population

Abstract: Autonomic nervous system (ANS) control may be disrupted by cerebrovascular disease. We investigated the relationship between alterations in white matter integrity and regulation of the ANS in 23 participants who sustained a stroke within 5 years. These participants underwent diffusion tensor imaging, and fractional anisotropy values were calculated (DTI-FA) for each hemisphere and lobe. Cognitive and physical exertion tasks were performed while recording an electrocardiogram. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA)… Show more

“…The white matter connectivity of the autonomic system in normal health has received little attention, most published studies focusing on the impact of major pathology such as Parkinson's disease ( Ashraf-Ganjouei, Majd, Javinani, & Aarabi, 2018 ) or stroke ( Williamson et al., 2012 ). In consequence, the relationship between autonomic tone and the characteristics of white matter tracts have until now been unknown.…”

“…In vitro, vitamin D down-regulates the activity of NF-κB activity [204] and stimulates the anti-inflammatory cytokines [205]. Additionally, vitamin D-binding proteins are more evident in proximity to endothelium injury [206], inhibiting the expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP-2, MMP-9), and of the endothelium growth factor [207]; they probably diminish the activity of the platelet-derived growth factor, conversely up-regulating thrombomodulin [208,209]. The second study, entirely dedicated to small vessel disease and vitamin D [198], lights some shadows in a fascinating problem; it presents a public association between bone small vessel disease and osteoporosis.…”

“…The second study, entirely dedicated to small vessel disease and vitamin D [224] lights some shadows in a fascinating problem: it presents a well-known association between bone small vessel disease and osteoporosis. Authors hypothesize a common way of alteration, in the peripheral autonomous nervous system, which deteriorates small-bone vessels as well as brain vessels [248]. The first and the third study on the topic [225][226], starting from two different perspectives have some common points.…”
