Regulation of the Sympathetic Nervous System by Circulating Vasopressin

  • Chapter
Book cover Circulating Regulatory Factors and Neuroendocrine Function

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 274))

Abstract

Neural regulation of the sympathoadrenal system (SAS) is not yet fully understood. It has been shown that various areas within the brain interact with sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the thoracic cord (1,2). Secretion of epinephrine (EPI) or norepinephrine (NE) into the blood of rats was found to be changed after electrical stimulation of certain areas in the medulla oblongata (3), the pons, and the midbrain (4), as well as in different parts of the hypothalamus (5,6). Plasma catecholamines were shown to be modulated also by the action of brain catecholamines (7).
