The contribution of exogenous and endogenous opioid peptides to the central modulation of
the baroreceptor reflex was investigated in rabbits. Baroreceptor sensitivity was assessed in …

1 The effect of captopril on autonomic reflex functions has been investigated in fifteen
patients with essential hypertension by examining their responses to tests of baroreceptor …

The role of endogenous opioids in central modulation of baroreceptor reflex function has
been assessed in rabbits and in man using stable enkephalin analogues and synthetic …

Captopril administration has been shown to result in the release of prostaglandins (PGs) in
experimental animals and patients. Also, PGs, particularly prostacyclin (PGI2), have been …

of cardiovascular diseases.'-3 The number of patients chronically treated with ACE inhibitors …

The cardiovascular effects of Substance P (SP) administered into the cisterna magna (ic) of
the pentobarbitone anaesthetised rabbit have been investigated. SP given ic in low doses …

Abstract In conscious male New Zealand rabbits, bradykinin caused dose-dependent (0.03–
1 μg/kg iv) hypotension and reflex tachycardia. After inhibition of angiotensin converting …

In conscious chronically instrumented, male Wistar rats the intracisternal (ic) administration
of AVP (10ng) caused an increase in baroreflex sensitivity in response to both a rise and fall …

Resting cardiac rates are reduced 40% by nutrient deprivation in two-week-old rats while
arterial pressure is maintained at stable levels. Previous evidence implicated arterial …
