Changes in heart rate (ΔHR) evoked by electrical stimulation of the peripheral end of the right vagus in atenolol (1 mg/kg) pretreated diabetic pithed rats after i.v. administration of a bolus of 1 mL/kg of saline solution, 5, 50, and 200 μg/kg of 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT; for each dose), α-methyl-5-HT (α-m-5-HT; 150 μg/kg), or 1-phenylbiguanide (1-PBG; 150 μg/kg). * compared with saline.
