Abstract:During the process of human evolution, an enormous variety of mechanisms were selected in order to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Neurally-mediated anticipatory responses, also named as cephalic phase responses (CPR), and microcirculatory regulation are examples of these mechanisms. Beyond the already known insulin´s metabolic effects, this hormone exerts clear hemodynamic effects in the entire vascular bed. One of the most studied aspects of the CPR is the one related to insulin´s action. The cephalic phase … Show more
