Scope-

The scope of this journal includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  1. Cellular Physiology: Original research on cellular processes, signaling pathways, membrane transport mechanisms, ion channels, receptors, intracellular signaling cascades, and cellular homeostasis in various cell types and tissues.

  2. Systems Physiology: Investigations into the integrated functions of organ systems, including the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, renal system, endocrine system, and nervous system, and their regulation under normal and pathological conditions.

  3. Neurophysiology: Research on the structure and function of the nervous system, including neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, neural circuits, neuroendocrine regulation, sensory processing, motor control, and neuroplasticity.

  4. Muscle Physiology: Studies on the structure and function of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle, including muscle contraction mechanisms, excitation-contraction coupling, muscle energetics, muscle adaptation, and muscle disorders.

  5. Cardiovascular Physiology: Original research and clinical studies on the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels, including cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac mechanics, vascular physiology, hemodynamics, blood pressure regulation, and cardiovascular diseases.

  6. Respiratory Physiology: Investigations into the mechanisms of pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, lung surfactant function, pulmonary circulation, respiratory control, and respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

  7. Renal Physiology: Research on the structure and function of the kidneys, including renal filtration, tubular reabsorption and secretion, renal blood flow regulation, acid-base balance, electrolyte homeostasis, renal hormone secretion, and kidney function in health and disease.

  8. Endocrine Physiology: Studies on the synthesis, secretion, and regulation of hormones by endocrine glands, including the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, thyroid function, adrenal function, pancreatic hormones, reproductive hormones, and hormone signaling pathways.

  9. Environmental Physiology: Investigations into the physiological adaptations of organisms to different environmental conditions, including temperature regulation, osmoregulation, hibernation, torpor, acclimatization, and responses to extreme environments.

  10. Exercise Physiology: Research on the physiological responses to exercise, including cardiovascular adaptations, respiratory adaptations, metabolic responses, muscle adaptations, thermoregulation, fatigue mechanisms, and exercise performance optimization.
