摘要
We tested the hypothesis that excitatory amino acid (EAA)-mediated transmission plays a role in generating the 10-Hz rhythm in sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) of baroreceptor-denervated, urethane-anesthetized cats. Microinjection of either an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) or non-NMDA receptor antagonist into any one of three medullary regions (lateral tegmental field, rostra], or caudal ventrolateral medulla) essentially eliminated the 10-Hz rhythm in inferior cardiac SND. We conclude that EAA receptors in the medulla are critical for generation of the 10-Hz rhythm. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
