No clear-cut effects in heart rate or ventilation were observed. When TRH was injected into the lateral ventricle, a dose more than 10-fold higher was required to achieve a comparable rise in arterial pressure. It is concluded that TRH may have a physiological rote in centrat cardiovascular regulation.}, subject = {Thyreotropin-Releasinghormon}, language = {en} } @article{PaakkariPaakkariFeuersteinetal.1992, author = {Paakkari, P. and Paakkari, I. and Feuerstein, G. and Sir{\´e}n, Anna-Leena}, title = {Evidence for differential opioid µ\(_1\)- and µ\(_2\)-receptor regulation of heart rate in the conscious rat}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-63017}, year = {1992}, abstract = {The possibility that \(\mu\)Opioid-induced tachycardia and bradycardia could be mediated by different subtypes of the \(\mu\)·receptor was studied in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats. The selective \(\mu\)·receptor agonist dermorphin and its analog, TAPS (Tyr-o-Arg-Phe-sarcosine), a putative \(\mu _1\)-receptor agonist, were given centrally. Tyr-o-Arg-Phe-sarcosine increased the heart rate, the response being inversely correlated to the dose (an increase of 71 ± 22, 49 ± 14 and 30 ± 17 beats/min at doses of 0.3, 3 and 30 pmol, respectively). Dermorphin induced less clear changes in heart rate (maximum increase of 39 ± 14 beats/min at the dose of 1 pmol). Aftertreatment with the Jl 1-selective antagonist naloxonazine (NAZ), TAPS 30 pmol and dennorphin I pmol decreased heart rate by -22 ± 10 and -24 ± 7 bpm, respectively. The bradycardic effect oflarger doses of dennorphin was potentiated by NAZ (from -25 ± 8 to -97 ± 22 bpm) but abolished by the non-selective antagonist naloxone. These data suggest that the high affinity \(\mu _1\)-opioid receptors mediate tachycardic responses and \(\mu _2\)-receptors mediate bradycardic responses.}, subject = {Neurobiologie}, language = {en} }
