Cardiovascular responses to intrathecal administration of strychnine in the rat

Abstract

Experiments were done to determine the influence of spinal glycinergic mechanisms in regulating sympathetic output to the heart and vessels in the anaesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rat.

Similar administration of artificial cerebrospinal …
