title: [Baroreceptors capable of inducing the biosynthesis and release of prostaglandins (PG) and of modulating adrenergic neurotransmission in the myocardium].
abstract: In the isolated Rabbit heart, high pressure, on the one hand, inhibits the noradrenaline release, and on the other hand, induces both the biosynthesis and release of PGs(PGE2,PGF2 alpha) from the auricles and mainly from the right auricle i.e. where the sympathetic nerve endings are the most numerous. Therefore, high pressure, by a negative feedback process, plays a great part in moderating the adrenergic neurotransmission responsible for the hypertension. These effects result from a supplementary pressure which acts on the walls of coronary arteries and arterioles and modifies their distensibility. It thus appears that in the walls of arteries and arterioles there are baroreceptors which are sensitive to the pressure variations in order to regulate adrenergic neurotransmission, by means of a reflex path still unknown.
