Sex-related differences in cardiovascular stress reactivity in healthy and hypertensive rats.
In healthy females the chronotropic effects of stress are more pronounced, while the hypertensive effects are weakened compared to males. Hemodynamic parameters in females returned to normal more rapidly than in males. Renovascular hypertension in males is more pronounced than in females and is associated with increased cardiovascular stress reactivity (in females it is associated with decreased cardiovascular stress reactivity), which increase the risk of cardiovascular complications in males.
