-
Animal Model:Male Wistar rats (approximately 200 g)[2]
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 4, 8, 14, or 28 days
-
Result:Lowered the blood pressure by 40 mg/kg, the decrease being reversible on discontinuation. The hypersensitivity was partly reversible on discontinuation, but a significantly increased sensitivity of the heart rate to noradrenaline was observed 60 days after discontinuation by 40 mg/kg for 28 days. Histologically a profound loss of nerve cells of the superior cervical ganglion was observed by 40 mg/kg.
