On the mechanism of action of hexenal

Communication 1. The action of hexenal on the interoceptors of the intestine

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

By perfusing an isolated intestinal loop in cats anesthetized by urethane, reflex changes of blood pressure and respiration produced by hexenal, acetylcholine and nicotine on intestinal interoceptors were studied. Strong (10%) and weak 2–5 mg%) solutions of hexenal affect the interoceptors, lowering their excitability after prolonged contact. A reflex from the interoceptors probably plays a part in the mechanism of hexenal anesthesia.
