Tetrodotoxin injected in the cat nucleus tracus solitarii produced hypertension without bradycardia, whereas in the nucleus reticularis lateralis it led to hypotension and bradycardia. Tetrodotoxin acts by blocking neuronal activity; it is a useful tool for studying the central organization of cardiovascular regulation. The present data confirm that the nucleus reticularis lateralis is a vasopressive centre.
向猫的孤束核注射河豚毒素会导致血压升高而无心动过缓,而向外侧网状核注射则会导致血压降低和心动过缓。河豚毒素通过阻断神经元活动起作用;它是研究心血管调节中枢组织的有用工具。目前的数据证实外侧网状核是一个升压中枢。
