A behavioral hypalgesia (increased response threshold to noxious stimuli) has been consistently,
although not invariably, reported in spontaneous and experimental acute and chronic …

Preferential visceral adipose tissue (VAT) deposition has been associated with the presence
of insulin resistance in obese and diabetic subjects. The independent association of VAT …

An association between increased blood pressure and hypalgesia has been reported in
several studies in animals and in a few reports in humans. We investigated the relationship …

Mild-to-moderate hypertension is often associated with insulin resistance and visceral
adiposity. Whether these metabolic abnormalities have an independent impact on regional …

Several reports suggest that urinary albumin excretion may be elevated in patients with
essential hypertension and that this index may be a good predictor for cardiovascular …

A substantial body of evidence has accumulated showing that exposure to electromagnetic
fields (EMFs) affects pain sensitivity (nociception) and pain inhibition (analgesia). Consistent …

Objectives Patients and animal models of arterial hypertension are characterized by
structural and functional abnormalities of the coronary microcirculation. Using a translational …

To investigate the seasonal influences on various arterial blood pressure measurements, 22
subjects in the high normal to mild hypertensive range were examined twice following the …

Previous studies have shown that essential hypertension is frequently associated with insulin
resistance. The tissues responsible for this metabolic alteration have not been defined. We …

The relation between the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system and carbohydrate
metabolism and insulin sensitivity in essential hypertension has not been investigated …
