Alpha-blockade in rabbit NTS attenuates baroreflex; hypothesis-generating for noradrenergic central BP control, no clinical translation yet.
Does alpha-blockade in the NTS area alter carotid sinus baroreflex function in anaesthetized rabbits?
Noradrenaline in the NTS area facilitates carotid sinus baroreflex function and is involved in the central regulation of arterial pressure.
Yamazaki et al. (1993) studied this question.
