In dogs submitted to a normobaric hypoxia, we found an elevation of the arterial blood pressure, of the heart rate, of the cardiac output and of the regional blood flows, the total peripheral resistance remaining unchanged. Treatment with citidoline abolishes these hemodynamic responses and the authors hypothetize that this effect is correlated with the agonist dopaminergic effect of the drug.
