The effects of atropine methyl nitrate (0.1 mg/kg) on the changes in HR, MAP, and femoral blood flow and vascular conductance evoked by electrical stimulation of the VTA (n = 6 cats). Atropine markedly blunted the increases in femoral blood flow and vascular conductance evoked by the VTA stimulation. Asterisk indicates significant difference (P < 0.05) before and after atropine. NS not significantly different (P > 0.05) before and after atropine
