Anenosine facilitates carotid baroreflex in rats

Abstract

The effects of adenosine (Ado) on the carotid baroreflex were studied in 27 anesthetized rats wit isolated carotid sinus perfusion. The results strongly suggest that the carotid baroreflex could be facilitated by Ado. It is proposed that the facilitatory action of Ado on carotid baroreflex may be resulted from the opening of K_(ATP) channels mediated by Ado A_(1)-receptors.
