α-Adrenergic contribution to the cardiovascular response to acute hypoxemia in the chick embryo

In a study, researchers investigated the effects of treatment of the chick embryo with the alpha-adregeneric receptor antagonist phentolamine on the redistribution of the cardiac output in response to acute hypoxemia at different stages of incubation.
