Left ventricular receptors inhibit brain serotonin neurons during coronary artery occlusion. 1978

M J Sole, and G Van Loon, and A Shum, and W Lixfield, and D C MacGregor

Acute coronary artery ligation in pargyline-treated rats decreased serotonin and increased 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the medulla and posterior hypothalamus. Lidocaine applied topically to the left ventricle completely prevented these alterations. No changes in serotonin were observed in the other brain regions examined. These data suggest a reflex inhibition of bulbar and hypothalamic serotonergic nerves by left ventricular receptors following acute coronary artery occlusion in the rat.

D011984 Sensory Receptor Cells Specialized afferent neurons capable of transducing sensory stimuli into NERVE IMPULSES to be transmitted to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Sometimes sensory receptors for external stimuli are called exteroceptors; for internal stimuli are called interoceptors and proprioceptors.

D012018 Reflex An involuntary movement or exercise of function in a part, excited in response to a stimulus applied to the periphery and transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
