METHODSMale and female Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were used. Direct pressure was measured in unanesthetized rats by means of a plastic cannula (PE-10 connected to a PE-50) inserted into the abdominal aorta through the femoral artery under ether anesthesia. The cannula emerged through the back of the rat and was connected through a 30. cm length of polyethylene tubing (PE-90) to a Statham P23-Dd pressure transducer from which signals were fed into a multichannel recorder (Hewlett-Packard model 7858A). During pressure measurements, the rats were placed on a small platform (10 x 20 cm and 30 cm high), where they remained unrestrained and usually quiet after an initial period of exploratory movements. The tail-plethysmographic method (15) was used for indirect measurement of blood pressure. The procedure for recording the whole-nerve activity of the aortic baroreceptor under pentobarbital anesthesia (30 mg/kg ip) during rapid changes in pressure produced by withdrawal and infusion of blood into the femoral artery was the same as that used in previous studies (16, 18, 25). Electrical activity was usually recorded in the isolated left aortic depressor nerve. Full range of baroreceptor function was continuously recorded at least five times when the pressure was progressively changed from low hypotension levels to severe hypertension. Care was taken to maintain the same velocity of blood pressure changes. The tracings and the pressure values given in Fig. 1 illustrate one of these five measurements. All other pressure values given in RESULTS (Figs. 2 and 3 and Table 1) are the averages of the three most consistent of the five measurements. The permanent records made on photo-
