Recent study from our laboratory has indicated that microinjection of glutamate into the
nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) facilitates the cardiac-somatic reflex induced by pericardial …

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in the medulla oblongata have been suggested
to have a functional role in the regulation of cardiovascular baroreflexes. The present study …

The potential role of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in cardiovascular function in
the nucleus of the solitary tract was examined following the microinjection of a number of …

Although several agonists and antagonists for different subtypes of metabotropic glutamate
receptors (mGLURs) have become available in recent years, detailed information regarding …

Glutamate is the proposed neurotransmitter of baroreceptor afferents at the level of the
nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). Exogenous glutamate in the NTS activates neurons through …

Previous studies have demonstrated that microinjection of the putative group III metabotropic
glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist, l (+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (l-AP4), into the …

Many patients suffer from secondary muscle hyperalgesia after experiencing angina
pectoris. In this study, we examined the role of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and …

We have determined the role of subgroups of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in
the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) of normotensive Wistar rats. Unilateral microinjection of …

The purpose of this study was to identify the complement of metabotropic glutamate
receptors (mGluRs) expressed in nodose ganglia and the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) …

In the present study, the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in central
cardiovascular regulation in conscious rats was examined. To this end, agonists and …
