Effects of enkephalin and 5-hydroxytryptamine on solitary tract neurones involved in respiration and respiratory reflexes
Abstract
Both enkephalin and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) have been implicated in neural mechanisms underlying the central control of respiration. In view of the role of the nuclei tractus solitarii (NTS) in respiratory regulation, we carried out a study in artificially ventilated, chloralose-anaesthetized cats of the effects of the microiontophoretic application of [D-Ala2, Met5]-enkephalinamide (DAME) and 5-HT on functionally identified NTS neurones …
