The role of autacoids and the autonomic nervous system in cardiovascular responses to radio-frequency energy heating review

Endpoint

• effects on the cardiovascular system: autacoids effects (histamine, serotonin, prostaglandin, thromboxane, leukotrienes, bradykinin, nitric oxide, angiotensin)
• effects on the neurological system: role of the autonomic nervous system (alpha-, beta-adrenoceptor blockade, potassium change)
• hyperthermia (measurement of colonic temperature)

Exposure

• • RF
