Incommensurate frequencies of major vascular regulatory mechanisms

Lessard et al. (1999) studied Wistar and spontaneously hypertensive rats. Investigation of vascular control mechanisms was evaluated on Frequencies of major vascular regulatory mechanisms. The center frequencies of mesenteric and renal autoregulation and of the arterial baroreflex were related in a ratio of approximately 4:7:12, which may minimize phase locking among mechanisms.
