10860642 Gurtu S, Shukla S, Mukerjee D, Khattri S: Effect of calcium channel blockers on baroreceptor reflex in anaesthetized cats. Pharmacol Res. 2000 Jul;42(1):101-5.

The baroreflex-induced changes in heart rate in chloralose anaesthetized and artificially ventilated cats (2.5-4.0 kg) before and after pretreatment with calcium channel blockers (CCBs) were compared.

8761843 Nearing BD, Hutter JJ, Verrier RL: Potent antifibrillatory effect of combined blockade of calcium channels and 5-HT2 receptors with nexopamil during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion in dogs: comparison to diltiazem. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 1996 Jun;27(6):777-87.

We examined the efficacy of nexopamil, which possesses the unique combination of calcium channel and 5-HT2 receptor blockade, in preventing ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF) and reducing T-wave alternans magnitude during coronary artery occlusion and abrupt reperfusion in dogs.
The effect of nexopamil was tested during a 10-min period of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion and release in chloralose-anesthetized dogs.

The present study was performed to examine the effects of a glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, on neuronal activity in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) to determine whether or not the drug acts directly on the MVN neuron using alpha-chloralose-anesthetized cats which were fixed in a stereotaxic instrument placed on a turn-table.
Each pipette was filled with dexamethasone phosphate (0.1 M), monosodium glutamate (1 M), glutamic acid diethylester (GDEE) (0.05 M: a non-selective glutamate receptor antagonist), CoCl2, (0.1 M: a non-specific calcium channel blocker), RU38486 (0.01 M: glucocorticoid receptor antagonist) or potassium canrenoate (0.1 M: a mineralo-cortical receptor antagonist).

7600835 Kline JA, Leonova E, Raymond RM: Beneficial myocardial metabolic effects of insulin during verapamil toxicity in the anesthetized canine. Crit Care Med. 1995 Jul;23(7):1251-63.

OBJECTIVE: Myocardial depression from verapamil toxicity may result from alterations in carbohydrate metabolism as well as calcium-channel antagonism.
INTERVENTIONS: Thirty mongrel canines were anesthetized with alpha-chloralose.

17093073 Du C, Yu M, Volkow ND, Koretsky AP, Fowler JS, Benveniste H: Cocaine increases the intracellular calcium concentration in brain independently of its cerebrovascular effects. J Neurosci. 2006 Nov 8;26(45):11522-31.

These findings support the use of calcium channel blockers as a strategy to minimize the neurotoxic effects of cocaine.
We show that cocaine induced significant increases ( approximately 10-15%) in [Ca (2+)](i) that were independent of its hemodynamic effects and of the anesthetic used (isofluorance or alpha-chloralose).

In both chloralose-anaesthetized and pithed rats, it inhibited pressor responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine.

10418792 Knuepfer MM, Mueller PJ: Review of evidence for a novel model of cocaine-induced cardiovascular toxicity. Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 1999 Jul;63(3):489-500.

The difference in cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance responses to cocaine in these two subsets of the population can be prevented by L-type calcium channel, muscarinic, or alpha-adrenergic blockade.
Under chloralose anesthesia, vascular responders have more profound pressor responses to cocaine and an initial brief spike in renal sympathetic nerve activity not usually noted in mixed responders.

The possibility of a central component in the cardiovascular effects of peripherally administered calcium channel blockers has been explored through a comparison of the effects observed after intravenous (i.v.) and intracisternal (i.c.) administration of verapamil and diltiazem in chloralose-anesthetized and artificially ventilated cats.

The cardiovascular effects of oxodipine, a new dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, were studied after i.v. administration to chloralose-anesthetized dogs, and compared with those of nitrendipine.
