Abstract
Mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and rectal temperature were measured from conscious, chair-restrained squirrel monkeys prepared with chronically indwelling arterial and venous catheters and temperature probes to determine the magnitude and duration of the effects of acute intravenous injections of propranolol, phentolamine and methyl atropine. The data indicate a predominant influence of the sympathetic nervous system in the regulation of cardiovascular activity in resting squirrel monkeys.Keywords
