Endothelin-1 in paraventricular nucleus modulates cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex and sympathetic activity in rats.

Endothelin-1 in paraventricular nucleus modulates cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex and sympathetic activity in rats.

Cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex (CSAR) is a positive-feedback, sympathoexcitatory reflex. Paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is an important component of the central neurocircuitry of the CSAR.
