Neurotransmitters as Modulators of Blood
Pressure<br>Progress in Hypertension<br>Volume 1<br>Editors: H. Saito,
H. Parvez, S. Parvez and T.
Nagatsu<br><br>Investigations in the field of hypertension have been greatly
enhanced during the past decade and research in this field
is entering a period of rapid growth. <br><br>This
first volume in the series Progress in Hypertension
analyzes the most important aspects of basic and clinical
research concerning neurotransmitters and their modulation
of blood pressure. <br><br>The book deals with the
biochemical methodology and pharmacological tools which have
enhanced the knowledge of how the nervous system triggers
the maintenance of blood pressure. The role of SHR
and SHRSP models, which are extensively used in the
study of hypertension due to their correlation with the
pathophysiology of hypertension in humans, is discussed.
Attention is also given to the influence of neuropeptides
and biogenic amines on the regulation, development
and maintenance of cardiovascular hypertension in
both the central nervous system and the peripheral
organs. <br><br>This book will be of relevance and value
to those interested in the actual role of the
neurotransmitters and neuromodulators and those involved in
hypertension as well as to researchers in neurosciences and
pharmacology.<br><br>1988; x+420 pages<br>ISBN 90-6764-100-6<br>Price: NLG
