Abstract excerpt
According to prior evidence opioid and serotonin release by lower brain stem neurons may contribute to hemorrhage-induced sympathoinhibition (HISI). Here we seek direct evidence for the activation of opioidergic, GABAergic, or serotonergic neurons by severe hemorrhage in the medulla oblongata. Blood was withdrawn from awake rats (40-50% total volume) causing hypotension and profound initial bradycardia. Other...
