Why the study?
Does stimulation of atrial receptors reduce plasma cortisol levels in anaesthetized dogs?
Does stimulation of atrial receptors reduce plasma cortisol levels in anaesthetized dogs?
Stimulation of left atrial receptors causes a reflex decrease in plasma cortisol level mediated by vagal afferent nerves and the pituitary gland.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May modulate cortisol and diuresis via vagal-pituitary reflexes in dogs; leaves open translation to human physiology or clinical relevance.
Drinkhill et al. (1989) studied this question.
