Scope

The American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology publishes original investigations that illuminate normal or abnormal regulation and integration of physiological mechanisms at all levels of biological organization, ranging from molecules to humans, including clinical investigations. Major areas of emphasis include regulation in genetically modified animals; model organisms; development and tissue plasticity; neurohumoral control of circulation and hypertension; local control of circulation; cardiac and renal integration; thirst and volume, electrolyte homeostasis; glucose homeostasis and energy balance; appetite and obesity; inflammation and cytokines; integrative physiology of pregnancy-parturition-lactation; and thermoregulation and adaptations to exercise and environmental stress.
