We have recently shown that microinjection of the superoxide dismutase mimetic tempol into the pressor region of the rostral ventrolateral medulla attenuates the cardiovascular response to mental (air-jet) stress in rabbits. In the present study, we examined the influence of tempol on the blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) responses to stress in the key region of the hypothalamic defense area, the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH).
