Supports 5-HT3 mediation of ANP sympathoinhibition outside epicardial sites in animals; leaves open human translation.
The sympathoinhibitory effects of ANP are mediated by a 5-HT3 agonist mechanism that is not localized to epicardial chemosensitive afferents.
Deliva et al. (1998) studied this question.
