鼠，行左肾切除术后皮下注射DOCA，并饮用1%氯化钠溶液4周，建立DOCA-盐型高血压模型。轻度麻醉状态下，记录大鼠平
均动脉压（MAP）、心率（HR）和肾交感神经活动（RSNA）；记录基础值后，静脉注射六烃季胺，观察MAP的变化；侧脑室注射
tempol（20 μmol/L，10 μl）或对照液，观察MAP、HR和RSNA的变化。酶联免疫法（ELISA）分析血浆去甲肾上腺素（NE）水平；化

Effect of inhibiting brain reactive oxygen species on sympathetic nerve activity in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats

Objective To investigate whether brain reactive oxygen species mediate sympathoexcitation and arterial pressure
elevation in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. Methods DOCA-salt hypertensive model was established in male SD rats by
subcutaneous injection of DOCA after uninephrectomy and drinking 1% NaCl solution for 4 weeks. The baseline mean arterial
pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) were recorded in the rats under mild anesthesia,
and MAP changes following intravenous hexamethonium injection were observed. The responses of MAP, HR and RSNA to
intracerebroventricular administration of tempol (20 μmol/L in 10 μl) were evaluated; plasma NE level was measured with
ELISA, and ROS level and NAD(P)H oxidase activity in the hypothalamus were detected using chemiluminescence assay.
Results MAP and plasma NE levels were significantly increased in DOCA-salt rats as compared with those in the control
group (P<0.01). In DOCA-salt hypertensive rats, intravenous hexamethonium injection induced a blood pressure reduction
240% of that in control rats, and significantly increased the levels of superoxide anion and NAD(P)H oxidase activity in the
hypothalamus. Intracerebroventricular microinjection of tempol also resulted in more significant changes of MAP, HR and
RSNA in DOCA-salt rats than in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Sympathoexcitation due to increased NAD(P)H
oxidase-derived ROS levels in the hypothalamus may mediate arterial pressure elevation in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.
