Published: 19 August 2020
Congratulations to Yasmine Coovadia, M.Sc., who recently published her master’s thesis work in American Journal of Physiology – Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
Yasmine’s paper is entitled “Sex differences in dynamic blood pressure regulation: beat-by-beat responses to muscle sympathetic nerve activityâ€.
Using microneurography to directly measure the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, Yasmine demonstrated that women respond to bursts of sympathetic activity with more sustained increases in blood pressure than men, and likewise maintain blood pressure during sympathetic quiescence more effectively than men.
Yasmine’s paper is available online ahead of print atÌý.
