title: [Effect of clonidine on three types of experimental hypertension and on plasma renin activity in dogs].
abstract: Intra-cisternal clonidine (3 microgram/kg) reduced hypertension and cardiac acceleration after defrenation in dogs, but did not act in intra-venous infusion (10 microgram/kg). The renin activity was not modified. Clonidine was always inactive on hypertension after stimulation of visceral afferences or after injection of potassium cyanidine. These results show that a central mechanism was implied in the anti-hypertensive action of clonidine.
