Abstract
The influence of elevated blood pressure on evoked field potentials in the medial lemniscus induced by peripheral stimulation was studied in the rat. Acute hypertension as a result of phenylephrine infusions reduced the size of this response in individual Wistar Kyot rats. Chronic renal hypertension in Sprague-Dawley rats also cuased a reduction in the dorsal column-medial lemniscal evoked response. These results confirm an inhibitory action of elevated blood pressure on transmission in through the dorsal column nuclei.
