Abstract: | Injection of active fragment of the neuropeptide bombesin (6–14) into cerebral ventricles of intact rabbits induces marked arterial hypertension accompanied by bradycardia and partial redistribution of blood to specialized heat-emitting organs (auricular conchae), which reduces body temperature. After a considerable blood loss, the peptide normalizes arterial pressure without affecting cardiac activity and body temperature. It is suggested that bombesins may be used for compensation of arterial hypotension during the early period of hypovolemic shock.
