Research project funded by NHLBI to study how androgen deprivation therapy affects blood pressure regulation through neural and renal mechanisms, led by Dr. Matthew C. Babcock.
Description
Study of neural and renal contributions to hypertension with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) by Matthew C. Babcock, Ph.D. at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The project aims to assess neural control of blood pressure and extend observations to renal control, hypothesizing that ADT increases inflammation, reduces baroreflex sensitivity, increases sympathetic reactivity, and renovascular resistance.
