Activation of the sympathetic nervous system plays a pivotal role               in the response of an organism to stress.  This activation and                  the resultant cardiovascular adjustments in large part determine                the organism's chances for survival.  Studies of sympathetic                    efferent discharge, plasma catacholamines, and cardiovascular                   function have documented this increase in activity.  Recently, a                potent system for modulation of sympathetic activity by                         endogenous opioid peptides has been described. In the conscious,                intact animal, this system is apparently involved with limiting                 sympathetic activation during stress.  Although this system may                 function in a variety of stressful situations, the work of Dr.                  James Schadt will focus on its role in hemorrhagichypotension.                  This work will be performed on rabbits and will use neurochemical               measures to determine blood levels of essential peptides during                 stress and correlate these with sympathetic nervous system                      activity.  This work is important in understanding the biological               basis of stress.
