1. Sympathetic effects on the mechanical sensitivity of frog cutaneous mechanoreceptors were examined in vivo. 2. Functionally identified units were tested with repetitive mechanical stimuli of threshold intensity during electrical stimulation of the sympathetic trunk. 3. Sympathetic activity resulted in increased sensitivity for three classes of a...

Rat sympathetic neurons, plated onto extracellular matrix produced by cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells, rapidly extended neurites in the absence of nerve growth factor (NGF). The response was unaffected by antiserum to NGF. Rapid outgrowth also occurred when sympathetic neurons were plated onto polylysine-coated surfaces that had been expo...

Cholinergic and adrenergic agonists and antagonists were injected directly into the subfornical organ (SFO), via implanted cannulae, and the volume of water ingested was recorded over a period of 1 hour after injection. Application of 2 nmol carbachol caused intense water intake in 100% of the animals (8.78±0.61 ml), with a very short intake latenc...

To determine the suitability of halothane anesthesia for studies of sympathetic control of the endocrine pancreas in dogs, we assessed the effect of halothane anesthesia (0.8% inspired concentration) on the sympathetic response to central neuroglucopenia. In dogs anesthetized with halothane, intravenous administration of the neuroglucopenic agent, ...

To determine if acute stress activates pancreatic noradrenergic nerves, pancreatic norepinephrine (NE) output (spillover) was measured in halothane-anesthetized dogs. Central neuroglucopenia, induced by intravenous 2-deoxy-D-glucose [( 2-DG] 600 mg/kg + 13.5 mg/kg-1 per min-1) increased pancreatic NE output from a baseline of 380 +/- 100 to 1,490 +...
