Compensatory growth (organ) kidneys. Along with the kidneys, compensatory growth has also been characterized in a number of other tissues and organs including: A large number of growth factors and hormones are involved with compensatory growth, but the exact mechanism is not fully understood and probably varies between different organs. Nevertheless, angiogenic growth factors which control the growth of blood vessels are particularly important because blood flow significantly determines the maximum growth of an organ. Compensatory growth may also refer to the accelerated growth following a period of slowed growth, particularly as a result of nutrient deprivation. Compensatory growth (organ) Compensatory growth is
Subfornical organ generally not affected by blood volume. Additional research has demonstrated that the subfornical organ may be an important intermediary through which leptin acts to maintain blood pressure within normal physiological limits via descending autonomic pathways associated with cardiovascular control. SFO neurons have also been experimentally shown to send efferent projections to regions involved in cardiovascular regulation including the lateral hypothalamus, with fibers terminating in the supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei, and the anteroventral 3rd ventricle (AV3V) with fibers terminating in the OVLT and the median preoptic area. The subfornical organ has also been shown to have a significant impact
