| Abstract: | The effect of  -methyldopa, clonidine, pentobarbital sodium, and reserpine on reflex bradycardia induced by an artificial rise of the systemic arterial pressure (BP) was studied in experiments on waking cats. The substances used, which have a tranquilizing action, led to various changes in function of the baroreceptor reflexes, the initial BP level, and the cardiac frequency.Department of Experimental Physiology and Pharmacology, Central Research Laboratory, Academician I.
