Pedrino GR, Maurino I, de Almeida Colombari DS, Cravo SL (2006) Role of catecholaminergic neurons of the caudal ventrolateral medulla in cardiovascular responses induced by acute changes in circulating volume in rats. Exp Physiol 91(6):995-1005. doi: 10.1113/expphysiol.2006.034611
Summary: Catecholaminergic neurons in the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) are thought to help regulate body fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular response due to changes in circulating volume. The authors injected 6.3 ng of anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03) into the CVLM of rats, and measured several physiological parameters following an injection of hypertonic or isotonic saline. Data from the lesioned rats indicate that catecholaminergic neurons mediate the cardiovascular response to volume expansion or increases in sodium levels.
