Non-NMDA receptors mediate cardiac sympathoexcitatory reflexes in rats; hypothesis-generating for mechanisms in human myocardial ischemia.
Does microinjection of glutamate receptor antagonists into the commissural NTS alter the sympathetic reflex response to cardiac receptor stimulation in anesthetized rats?
Non-NMDA receptors in the commissural NTS play a critical role in the sympathoexcitatory reflex response to cardiac receptor activation, providing insight into neural mechanisms during myocardial ischemia.
