Suggests neuronal NO facilitates vagal sinus arrhythmia control in dogs; hypothesis-generating for human autonomic regulation.
Does inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide with TRIM reduce heart rate variability in anaesthetised dogs?
Inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide reduces heart rate variability in anaesthetised dogs, suggesting NO has a vagal facilitatory role in maintaining sinus arrhythmia.
Markos et al. (2001) studied this question.
