The sympathetic baroreflex is enhanced during emotional stress in rats by Kanbar, Roy

“…Under both conditions, baroreflex function curves relating AP and RSNA were constructed by fitting a sigmoid function to RSNA and AP measured during sequential nitroprusside and phenylephrine administrations. Air-jet stress significantly (P<0.01) increased the mean levels of AP (from 112 +/- 2 to 124 +/- 2 mmHg), heart rate (from 381 +/- 10 to 438 +/- 18 beats/min) and RSNA (from 0.80 +/- 0.14 to 1.49 +/- 0.23 microV). …”
