Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus is a key integrative area in the brain involved in influencing sympathetic nerve activity and in the release of hormones or releasing factors that contribute to regulating body fluid homeostasis and endocrine function. The endocrine and hormonal regulatory function of the paraventricular nucleus is well studied, but the regulation of sympathetic nerve activity and blood flow by this region is less clear. Here we review the critical role of the paraventricular nucleus in regulating renal blood blow during hyperthermia and the evidence pointing to an important pathophysiological role of the paraventricular nucleus in the elevated renal sympathetic nerve activity that is a characteristic of heart failure.
