Enhanced pressor response to carotid occlusion in commNTSlesioned rats: Possible efferent mechanisms
(American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2000) [Artigo]Bilateral common carotid occlusion (BCO) over a period of 60 s in conscious rats produces a biphasic pressor response, consisting of an early (peak) and late (plateau) phase. In this study we investigated 1) the effects ... -
Effect of cholinergic stimulation of the amygdaloid complex on water and salt intake.
(Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas médicas e biológicas / Sociedade Brasileira de Biofísica ... [et al.], 1994) [Artigo]The effect of carbachol (80 nmol/microliters) injection into the amygdaloid nuclear complex (AMG) on sodium appetite and water intake was studied in male Holtzman rats weighing 240-270 g. Twenty-five satiated rats and 38 ... -
