Curt D. Sigmund, PhD

Associate Editor, Hypertension

An extract of the first 250 words of the full text is provided, because this article has no abstract.

I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you that I will be stepping down from my responsibilities as Associate Editor of Hypertension on June 30, 2007, in order to concentrate on my new appointment as Editor-in-Chief of American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. I want to thank the authors and reviewers of the journal for 5 stimulating years, and also want to thank the editorial team led by Dr John Hall, the associate and consulting editors, and the editorial staff at the University of Mississippi Medical Center for their support and friendship. I also want to thank Vickie Akers, my editorial assistant at the University of Iowa, for making the job easier. I look forward to continuing a tradition of excellence at AJP: Regulatory. I know I have a hard act to follow considering the brilliant job performed by the past 2 editors of the journal (Drs Hall and Pontus Persson) over the past dozen years. I look forward to continued interactions with all of you in this new venture.

With regards,
