Fourteen untreated patients with essential hypertension (EH) were subjected to mild aerobic exercise with the intensity at 50% of the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) twice a week for 12 weeks, as compared with 14 normotensive subjects (NT). Blood pressure and norepinephrine (NE) in plasma, platelet and urine were measured as the indices of sympathetic activity. In EH, a significant fall in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure was observed. In addition, exercise training produced a significant decrease both urinary and platelet NE, but not in plasma NE. Neither significant changes in blood pressure nor NE in plasma, platelet and urine were observed in NT. These results suggest that an inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system might be related to the blood pressure fall in physical exercise training.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
