Abstract:
The content of phospholipids in various tissues was studied during synergistic interaction between two branches of the autonomic nervous system. We found higher myocardial content of choline-containing phospholipids and lower rigidity of erythrocyte membranes in rabbits with pronounced sympathetic potentiation of the cardioinhibitory effect of the vagus nerve compared to rabbits without such potentiation.
