Abstract
Effects of intravenous leu-enkephalin on heart rate, stroke volume, and minute blood volume under conditions of sympathetic and parasympathetic blockade were studied in experiments on pubertal rats anesthetized with urethane. This opioid peptide inhibits sympathetic and parasympathetic control on the heart, affecting not only chronotropic but inotropic cardiac indices.
