Effects of microinjection of salusin-β in dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) on RSNA, MAP and HR. (A) Effects of salusin-β (100 pmol) in different zones of DMV including rostral DMV (rDMV), intermediate DMV (iDMV) and caudal DMV (cDMV). (B) Representative images of DMV showing microinjection sites at rDMV, iDMV and cDMV. (C) Schematic diagram showing the nuclei around the iDMV such as nucleus tractus solitaries (NTS), intermediate reticular nucleus (IRN), hypoglossal nucleus (HN) and intermedius nucleus of medulla (INM). (D) The coordinates used for microinjection of salusin-β into the NTS, IRN, HN, INM and iDMV. (E) Effects of microinjection of salusin-β (100 pmol) into the NTS, IRN, HN, INM and iDMV. (F) Effects of different doses of salusin-β (1, 10, 100 pmol) in the intermediate zone of DMV (iDMV).* p < 0.05 vs. the value before microinjection. † p < 0.05 vs. PBS. 4V, the fourth ventricle; CC, central canal.
