TLDR
A preparation is described of isolated rabbit atria with both vagus and sympathetic nerves that abolished the constrictor effect of nervous stimulation and of acetylcholine, but increased that of tyramine in the vessels of the perfused rabbit ear.
Abstract
A preparation is described of isolated rabbit atria with both vagus and sympathetic nerves. The action on it of bretylium and of choline 2,6-xylyl ether bromide (TM10) was studied. A concentration of breylium sufficient to abolish the response to sympathetic stimulation also depressed the response to vagal stimulation. The effect was reversible, though more easily with choline xylyl ether. Both drugs abolished the accelerating action of acetylcholine in the presence of atropine, but they augmented the action of tyramine, and did not reduce that of amphetamine. In the vessels of the perfused rabbit ear they abolished the constrictor effect of nervous stimulation and of acetylcholine, but increased that of tyramine.

Sympathetic-parasympathetic interactions in the heart.

TL;DR: It is generally recognized that the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system exert antagonistic efFects on various aspects of the performance of the heart; these opposing influences are not algebraically additive; complicated interactions exist.

Adrenergic neurone blockade and other acute effects caused by n‐benzyl‐n′n″‐dimethylguanidine* and its ortho‐chloro derivative

TL;DR: The adrenergic neurone block by BW 467C60 was inhibited by dopamine, cocaine and amphetamine in situations in which these amines inhibit the effects of bretylium and guanethidine.

Vagal non-adrenergic inhibition of guinea-pig stomach.

TL;DR: The effect of vagal and sympathetic stimulation on the mechanical and electrical activity (intracellular recording) of the body of the guinea‐pig stomach was investigated in vitro.

Neural regulation of blood pressure in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

TL;DR: Exercise tachycardia was reduced slightly by each compound and α-Receptor blockade with phentolamines or adrenergic transmitter release blockade with bretylium prevented the exercise hypertension and converted it to a decrease of 5% (phentolamine) or 18% (bretyLium).

The effect on the isolated rabbit heart of vagal stimulation and its modification by cocaine, hexamethonium and ouabain

TL;DR: The experiments to be described have been concerned with the effect of vagus stimulation in the isolated heart and auricles of the rabbit and the action of cocaine, of hexamethonium and of the cardiac glycoside ouabain was studied.

The blocking action of choline 2:6‐xylyl ether bromide on adrenergic nerves

TL;DR: Examination of some ethers related to TM 10 revealed no correlation between TM 10-like adrenergic blocking activity and local anaesthetic activity, and the action of TM 10 on adrenergic nerves does not, therefore, seem to be accounted for by axonal block.
