Cardiovascular effects of the essential oil of Aniba canelilla bark in normotensive rats.

Cardiovascular effects of intravenous (i.v.) treatment with the essential oil of the bark of Aniba canelilla (EOAC) were investigated in normotensive rats.

Pressor responsiveness to intravenous quinpirole is blunted in malnourished, conscious rats: central vs. peripheral and spinal mechanisms.

In conscious rats, intravenous treatment with the dopamine D2-like receptor agonist quinpirole, elicited a pressor effect, which is attributed to central dopamine D2 receptor-mediated activation of sympathetic outflow associated with arginine vasopressin release. This prominent central effect is opposed to peripheral sympathoinhibitory and spinal depressor effects. The present study investigated the effects of pre- and postnatal undernutrition on the central pressor responsiveness to quinpirole.

Cardiovascular effects of methyleugenol, a natural constituent of many plant essential oils, in normotensive rats.

Cardiovascular effects of intravenous (i.v.) treatment with methyleugenol (ME), a natural constituent of many plant essential oils, were investigated in normotensive rats.

Cardiovascular effects of 1,8-cineole, a terpenoid oxide present in many plant essential oils, in normotensive rats.

The cardiovascular effects of i.v. treatment with 1,8-cineole, a monoterpenic oxide present in many plant essential oils, were investigated in normotensive rats.
