Does pentobarbital or chloralose affect cardiac and renal sympathetic nerve activities and plasma catecholamines in conscious cats?
Pentobarbital and chloralose differentially affect sympathetic outflows to the heart, kidney, and adrenal gland, attenuating tonic and baroreflex cardiac sympathetic outflow.
Matsukawa et al. (1993) studied this question.
