| Popis: | 84 The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the rostralventrolateral medulla (rVLM) on respiratory- related activity of the recurrentlaryngeal nerve (RLN). The animal was decerebrated, vagatomized paralyzed and ventilated artificially. Activities of the phrenic (PNA) and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLNA) were monitored at normocapnia or hypercapnia both in hyperoxia. The rVLM was activated by electrical current (12.5 to 50 mA, 80 Hz, 0.5 ms) or glutamate (50 mM, 30-60 nl). Changes of PNA and RLNA are observed. In response to current of 12.5, 25 and 50 mA delivered to the rVLM, PNA were reduced to 93.3%, 74.9% (p |
