The tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)- and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT)-immunoreactive cells of the medulla are closely associated with cardiovascular control in both the cat and rat. Although it is often the species of choice for cardiovascular studies, no previous study had characterized these cell groups in the dog. The TH- and PNMT-immunoreactive cells of the dog were distributed much as they are in both cat and rat but with some species variations, which may be indicative of their functional role.
延髓中酪氨酸羟化酶（TH）和苯乙醇胺N -甲基转移酶（PNMT）免疫反应性细胞与猫和大鼠的心血管控制密切相关。尽管狗常常是心血管研究中首选的物种，但之前尚无研究对狗的这些细胞群进行特征描述。狗的TH和PNMT免疫反应性细胞的分布与猫和大鼠中的分布大致相同，但存在一些物种差异，这可能表明了它们的功能作用。
