Abstract:The lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) exerts an important inhibitory influence for the control of sodium and water intake. However, the importance of LPBN on renal responses and cardiovascular changes during extracellular dehydration are still unknown. Here we investigated the effects of bilateral injections of moxonidine (alpha2-adrenergic and imidazoline receptor agonist) on renal and cardiovascular changes in fluid-depleted rats. Male Wistar rats (n=4-8 per group) with bilateral stainless steel guide-cann… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
