Regulation of the Heart of a Teleost, Gadus morhua, by Autonomic Nerves and Circulating Catecholamines
Abstract The cod heart regulation has been investigated by anatomical studies, fluorescent histochemistry, nerve stimulation and drug effects on the perfused heart and electrically paced strips. The effect on the heart of catecholamine release from the head kidney has been studied in a perfused head...
