Abstract:
Intravenous injection of synthetic oxytocin (Syntocinon) causes a fall of blood pressure in rabbit. The hypotensive response was potentiated after vagotomy and atropine. Beta-adrenergic and 5-HT blockers reduced the hypotensive response to oxytocin. Hypotensive response of oxytocin in rabbit involves two factors, activation of beta-adrenergic receptor and release of 5-HT.
