Abstract
The results of this study suggest that hypoventilation induced by intravenous somatostatin administration occurs outside vagal afferentation to the medulla and is mediated via carotid body afferents. Sino-aortic chemoreceptors and baroreceptors do not contribute to bradycardia and a fall in blood pressure. These cardiovascular effects are presumably mediated due to excitation of somatostatin receptors within the heart and/or in the brain.
