Key Players

Sex differences in blood pressure and the prevalence of hypertension are found in humans and animal models. Moreover, there has been a recent explosion of data concerning sex differences in nitric oxide, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, inflammation, and kidney function. These data have the potential to reveal the mechanisms underlying male-female differences in blood pressure control. To elucidate the interactions among the multitude of physiological processes involved, one may apply computational models. In this review, we describe published computational models that represent key players in blood pressure regulation, and highlight sex-specific models and their findings.

Arterial Baroreceptor

Arterial baroreceptors effectively buffer short-term pressure changes. However, their importance for long-term pressure control appears to be minor. In contrast, cardiopulmonary reflexes cannot sense short-term fluctuations in arterial pressure but may be involved in the long-term regulation. Knowledge of the interaction of both receptor areas may enhance our understanding of blood pressure regulation.
