Does anxiety reduce baroreflex cardiac control in older adults with major depression?
Anxiety, but not depression severity, is associated with reduced BRC(SPEC) in older men and women. Future studies are needed to determine whether comorbid anxiety contributes to the increased cardiovascular risk associated with MDD.
Our results provide a molecular basis for the dual roles of glycine in ischemic injury through distinct mechanisms, and they suggest that glycine receptors could be a potential target for clinical treatment of stroke.
