Abstract
Summary
Experiments on dogs linked in cross-circulation, by connecting the central end of the aorta of one dog to the peripheral end of the aorta of the other and vice versa, have confirmed earlier results in this laboratory indicating that a hypertensive substance is liberated on stimulation of the central end of the cut vagus nerve. Comparison of the results of the vagus stimulation and noradrenaline injection have provided further evidence for the assumption that the hypertensive substance is probably liberated from the arterial walls themselves.
