General anesthesia with Nembutal (40 mg/kg) dramatically decreased the power of all waves of HRV spectrum in rats, especially in LF and VLF frequency bands, but the HR and respiration rate were little changed. At this, individual spectral peaks in HF range were observed at the same frequencies (1.3-1.

Empirical evidence currently supports the idea that neurovascular dysfunction is involved in the neurodegenerative process of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In fact, epidemiological studies report that i) vascular risk factors are directly associated with an increased incidence of AD and ii) vascular lesions are frequently co-existent with AD. The neurovascular unit is a key control system for oxygen and nutrients exchange between neurons and microvessels so the integrity of this system is essential for neuronal activity and cell survival.
