Effects of centrally administered atrial natriuretic polypeptide on sympathetic nerve activity and blood flow to the kidney in conscious rats.

abstract：:Pharmacological agents acting at alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are widely used in physiology and neuroscience research. Mounting evidence of their potential utility in clinical and experimental psychopharmacology, necessitates new models and novel model organisms for their screening. Here, we characterize behavioral ef...
