TLDR
Bilateral injections of α-methylnoradrenaline into the area of the nucleus tractus solitarii of the brain stem caused a dose-dependent decrease of systemic arterial blood pressure and heart rate of anesthetized rats.

Distribution of α2 agonist binding sites in the rat and human central nervous system: Analysis of some functional, anatomic correlates of the pharmacologic effects of clonidine and related adrenergic agents

TL;DR: These functional, anatomical and neurochemical correlates of the alpha 2 binding site distribution establish a neurological basis for the complex pharmacological effects of centrally acting alpha 2 agonists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of catecholamine-receptor stimulating agents on blood pressure after local application in the nucleus tractus solitarii of the medulla oblongata.

TL;DR: The present data suggest that the catecholaminergic receptors in the A2-region of the NTS differ from the classic vascular alpha-receptor and that the NTS also may contain structures which can antagonize the decrease in blood pressure.

Neurophysiology and neuropharmacology of cardiovascular regulation and stress

TL;DR: The conclusion is reached that further multidisciplinary research will reveal underlying neurophysiological and neuropharmacological mechanisms responsible for stress induced cardiovascular disease and lead to new methods of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Centrally induced hypotension and bradycardia after administration of alpha-methylnoradrenaline into the area of the nucleus tractus solitarii of the rat.

TL;DR: In anaesthetized rats, bilateral injections of α‐methylnoradrenaline, noradrenalin or adrenaline into the area of the nucleus tractus solitarii of the brain stem caused dose‐dependent decreases of systemic arterial blood pressure and heart rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic lability of arterial pressure produced by selective destruction of the catecholamine innervation of the nucleus tractus solitarii in the rat.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the catecholamine innervation of NTS modulates rather than mediates baroreceptor reflexes, serving to maintain arterial pressure within narrow limits.

Central hypotensive effect of α-methyldopa

TL;DR: In cats under chloralose anaesthesia l-α-methyldopa was infused for 1 hr into the left vertebral artery a gradual and significant lowering of mean arterial blood pressure was observed, and the dopamine and noradrenaline contents of the brain were significantly reduced while brain 5-hydroxytryptamine and heart nor adrenaline concentrations remained normal.

Central inhibitory effect of α-methyldopa on blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature of renal hypertensive rats

TL;DR: It is suggested that in the renal hypertensive rat the decrease in blood pressure and in body temperature depends on a central action of alpha-methyldopa metabolites.
