Baroreflex Sensitivity Modulates Vasodepressor Response to
... SUMMARY Baroreflex activity is a determinant of the homeostatic response to alteration in blood pressure. We examined the factors that determine the magnitude of the vasodepressor response to sequential incremental intravenous infusions of sodium nitroprusside (NP), 0.05 to 6.4 yug/kg/min, in eight ...
