The aim of the present study was to characterize the sympathetic nerve responses to hyperthermia in chloralose-anesthetized rats. Discharges were recorded from the renal, lumbar, and splanchnic sympathetic nerves. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) were recorde...
