BloodPressure in the Unanesthetized Rat
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods of indirectly determining blood pressure in the rat are reviewed and their drawbacks noted. A new method is described which has the advantage of objectivity and provides permanent graphic record of each determination. The end point used is the reappearance of pulsation in the foot distal to a slowly deflating leg cuff. Application of the method is described and its use compared with tail plethysmography.

Succinate oxidation by human liver mitochondria.
Factors controlling the rate of oxidation of succinate were studied in mitochondria isolated from twenty-seven specimens of normal human liver obtained at operation. These were compared with mitochondria prepared from the livers of anesthetized and unanesthetized rats. Previously reported lower rates of succinate oxidation by human liver mitochondria were confirmed. This difference was no longe...
متن کاملPhysiological properties of raphe magnus neurons during sleep and waking.
Neurons in the medullary raphe magnus (RM) that are important in the descending modulation of nociceptive transmission are classified by their response to noxious tail heat as ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL cells. Experiments in anesthetized animals demonstrate that RM ON cells facilitate and OFF cells inhibit nociceptive transmission. Yet little is known of the physiology of these cells in the unanesthet...

متن کاملRat brain osmolality during barbiturate anesthesia and global brain ischemia.
Ischemic brain damage can be partially ameliorated by barbiturate therapy applied postinsult. Catabolism-induced brain hyperosmolality during ischemia may contribute to the development of brain edema after restoration of circulation. To determine changes in brain osmolality during ischemia and the effect of barbiturate anesthetics in altering its course, we measured whole and regional (cerebral...
