Abdominal ischemia induces a pressor reflex caused mainly by C-fiber afferent stimulation. Because excitatory amino acids, such as glutamate, bind to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA [dl-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA)] receptors and serve as important spinal neurotransmitters, we hypothesized that both receptors play a role in the abdominal ischemia pressor reflex. In chloralose-anesthetized cats, NMDA receptor blockade with 25.0 mM dl-2-amino-5…

Glutamate's Role in a Visceral Sympathoexcitatory Reflex in Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla of Cats
TLDR
Results suggest that glutamate in the rVLM serves as an excitatory neurotransmitter through a baroreflex-independent mechanism, and that both NMDA and AMPA receptors mediate the visceral sympathoexcitatory reflex responses.
Role of glutamate in a visceral sympathoexcitatory reflex in rostral ventrolateral medulla of cats.
TLDR
Results suggest that glutamate in the rVLM serves as an excitatory neurotransmitter through a baroreflex-independent mechanism and that both NMDA and AMPA receptors mediate the visceral sympathoexcitatory reflex responses.

TLDR
The endogenous neurotransmitters for delta- and kappa-opioid receptors, enkephalins and dynorphin but not beta-endorphin appear to play significant roles in the spinal cord in mediating magnetic stimulation-induced modulation of cardiovascular reflex responses.

Blockade of non-NMDA receptors attenuates reflex pressor response to static contraction.
TLDR
The results suggest that substance P and glutamate are two neurotransmitters involved in the spinal transmission of the exercise pressor reflex and that substanceP and glutamate exert their effects via neurokinin-1 (NK-1) and non-NMDA receptors, respectively.
Spinal NMDA receptors mediate pressor responses evoked from the rostral ventrolateral medulla.
TLDR
Results indicate that tonicactivation of spinal NMDA receptors participates in the maintenance of sympathetic outflow to the heart and blood vessels, pressor responses evoked from the RVM require synaptic activation of spinalNMDA receptors, and an excitatory amino acid may be the neurotransmitter of pressor pathways descending fromThe RVM to the spinal cord.
Spinal cord excitatory amino acids and cardiovascular autonomic responses.
TLDR
It is concluded that intrathecal activation of NMDA and non-NMDA subtype receptors has similar but independent effects on heart rate and on blood pressure and NMDA receptors alone participate in mediation of baroreflex vasoconstrictor function, whereas both sets of receptors determine reflex sympathetic heart rate effects.

TLDR
It is concluded that blockade of both NMDA and non-NMDA subtypes of glutamate receptors reduces ischemic necrosis, possibly by preventing excessive stimulation of these receptors by released excitatory amino acids in the lesion area.

TLDR
Data suggest that endogenous SP, acting as a sensory neurotransmitter, is involved in the excitatory cardiovascular reflex caused by chemical stimulation of the gallbladder through its action on NK1 receptors in the spinal cord.
