PGE2 blunts baroreflex gain via cardiac afferents in dogs; leaves open relevance to human autonomic regulation or therapies.
Does intracoronary infusion of PGE2 and arachidonic acid inhibit the baroreflex control of heart rate in conscious dogs?
Intracoronary PGE2 and arachidonic acid inhibit baroreflex control of heart rate, likely via stimulation of left ventricular receptors with vagal C-fiber afferents.
Panzenbeck et al. (1989) studied this question.
