We previously reported a highly sensitive chemiluminescence high-performance liquid chromatographic method to determine catecholamines in plasma. In this study, we employed this method to measure the cardiac function and plasma norepinephrine (NE) concentration in conscious rats. Benidipine, 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (4 mg/kg), and beta-blocker (propranolol, 30 mg/kg) were administered orally to conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, and blood pressure, heart rate and plasma NE levels were measured. Plasma NE concentration was used as an index of sympathetic nervous system activity in conscious rats. The basal plasma NE levels were significantly higher in SHRs than in WKY rats (P<0.05), indicating the activity of the basal sympathetic nervous system in SHRs was elevated. The sensitivity of the baroreflex-mediated sympathetic nervous response was reduced in SHRs as compared to that in WKY rats. The concomitant administration of benidipine and a beta-blocker decreased heart rate without affecting the baroreflex-mediated sympathetic nervous response, indicating that propranolol might suppress mainly the cardiac beta-adrenoceptor. The present study suggested the high activity of the basal sympathetic nervous system and the reduced response of the baroreflex-mediated sympathetic nervous system in SHRs compared to WKY rats in the conscious condition. 相似文献

Pressor effects of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), a selective inhibitor of nitric oxide production from L-arginine, on mean blood pressure (MBP) were investigated in conscious Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). L-NMMA (0.1-10 mg/kg, i.v.) elicited a dose-dependent increase in the MBP of WKY and SHRSP. The pressor response to L-NMMA was more marked in SHRSP than in WKY. These results suggest that nitric oxide may play an important role in the blood pressure regulation in the conscious SHRSP. 相似文献

1. Autonomic activity and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were compared in age-matched conscious groups of Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). 2. Male WKY rats, SHR and SHRSP aged 4-30 weeks were used. Autonomic activity and BRS were estimated by power spectral and cross-spectral analysis of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and SBP-SBP (SS) interval fluctuations, respectively. 3. The time-course of heart rate (HR), SBP, the amplitude of the low-frequency component of SBP fluctuation (SBP-LF; prazosin-sensitive index) and the amplitude of the high-frequency component of the SS interval fluctuation (SS-HF; atropine-sensitive index) consisted of two periods. In the first period (up to 10 or 15 weeks of age), BP, SBP-LF and SS-HF increased with age. The order of SBP-LF was SHRSP > SHR > WKY rats throughout this period. During the second period, BP was sustained at certain levels in all strains, but changes in SBP-LF and SS-HF with age were different among strains. In particular, in SHRSP, SBP-LF markedly decreased with age after 10 weeks. Baroreflex sensitivity in WKY rats increased gradually with age, whereas the BRS in SHR and SHRSP decreased before 6 weeks of age and remained lower than that in WKY rats. 4. In conclusion, the present study shows that both prazosin-sensitive and atropine-sensitive indices are associated with the elevation of BP in all strains studied. However, hypertension after 15 weeks of age in SHRSP is sustained despite a paradoxical reduction in sympathetic activity with an abnormal control of BRS. Therefore, the contribution of autonomic activity to hypertension may be discussed separately as a developmental period and a sustained period. 相似文献

Ketanserin, a selective serotonergic (5-HT2) antagonist, also has affinity for alpha 1-adrenoceptors. It is not clear whether the hypotensive mechanism of ketanserin is due to its antagonistic action to 5-HT2 receptor or to its affinity for alpha 1 adrenoceptors. The hypotensive mechanism of ketanserin was studied in both stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). Anesthetized rats were used (alpha-chloralose + urethane, i.p.). Up to 3 ml of blood was drawn from each rat for analysis. Plasma norepinephrine (NE) was determined by radioenzymatic assay. Plasma serotonin (5-HT) was determined by HPLC-ECD. Adrenal nerve discharges were counted by a digital pulse counter. Ketanserin (0.5 mg/kg, 5.0 mg/kg, i.v.) produced a dose-dependent reduction of mean arterial pressure (MAP) in both SHRSP and WKY. MAP of SHRSP decreased significantly as compared with WKY. Both plasma NE and 5-HT showed a tendency to increase during ketanserin administration (5.0 mg/kg, i.v.). Ketanserin significantly antagonized the BP response induced by exogenously injected 5-HT (30 micrograms/kg) and NE (10 micrograms/kg). Adrenal nerve activity was reduced in parallel with the decrease in BP and HR. These findings suggest that ketanserin produced a decrease in BP via both peripheral and central action in rats. 相似文献

1. The aim of this study was to examine the pressor response of vasopressin (AVP) to an acute fall in blood pressure induced by ganglion blockade. 2. Aortic catheters were implanted in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP), normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), black-hooded Wistar (BHW) and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, aged 5–7 weeks and 7–9 months, for direct measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP) under conscious, resting conditions. The ganglion blocking agent pentolinium was administered intra-arterially, followed by an AVP receptor antagonist specific for the pressor effect of AVP. The basal level of MAP attained with each drug was recorded. 3. In the adult SHR and SHRSP with established hypertension, acute ganglion blockade caused MAP to fall to a similar extent as in WKY, suggesting that the level of sympathetic pressor tone was similar in all three strains. Administration of the AVP antagonist alone did not affect resting MAP. During ganglion blockade, however, it caused a further reduction of MAP in WKY, SHR and SHRSP, the magnitude of which was greater in the hypertensive strains. After both drugs, the total fall in MAP and the residual MAP were significantly greater in the hypertensive rats. 4. In young rats, AVP had little effect on MAP, even during ganglion blockade. The residual level of MAP after both drugs was greater in the hypertensive strains. 5. The extent to which AVP can compensate for an acute fall in MAP increases with age and the development of hypertension. This tends to mask the loss of sympathetic mediated pressor tone after ganglion blockade. By preventing this compensation we have shown that the sympathetically mediated component of blood pressure is elevated in SHRSP with established hypertension. 相似文献

1. Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were 'chemically sympathectomized' immediately after birth with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 100 mg/kg s.c. daily) for the first 10 days of life. 2. Body weight gain was diminished in both groups as compared with sham-treated controls. Blood pressure was reduced in 'sympathectomized' SHRSP, and also WKY rats had a slightly lower blood pressure than control rats. 3. Plasma concentration of angiotensin II and renin content of the kidney were not influenced by 6-OHDA. 4. 'Sympathectomized' SHRSP retained similar amounts of sodium than sham-treated SHRSP when sodium retention is expressed per body weight gained. Plasma and blood volumes were increased in both SHRSP and WKY rats, whereas packed cell volume was significantly decreased. 5. These results demonstrate the significance of an intact sympathetic nervous system for the development of hypertension in SHRSP. The expanded plasma and blood volume in 'sympathectomized' rats indicate an important role of the sympathetic nervous system and/or the arterial blood pressure for the regulation of intravascular volume. 相似文献

The effects of various doses of intravenously (i.v.) infused (5-min duration, 0.1-3.2 nmol/kg/min) or bolus-injected (0.1-3.2 nmol/kg) porcine and/or rat/human neuropeptide Y (NPY) on mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and plasma concentrations of porcine NPY-like immunoreactivity (pNPYir) were examined in conscious, unrestrained spontaneously hypertensive (SHR), Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats of various ages. When administered as an infusion to 12- to 17-week-old SHR, WKY, and SD rats, porcine NPY (pNPY) was more potent in increasing MAP in SHR than in either WKY or SD rats. Infusions of rat/human NPY instead of pNPY resulted in similar increases in potency in 12- to 17-week-old SHR as compared with WKY. This potency-associated hyperresponsiveness to infused pNPY was also observed when 36- to 41-week-old and 6-week-old SHR and WKY were examined, but infused NPY induced similar HR reductions in age-matched rats regardless of rat strain. Furthermore, doses of infused pNPY that elicited significantly greater pressor responses in SHR and WKY (0.32 nmol/kg/min in 12- to 17-week-old rats and 1.0 nmol/kg/min in 6-week-old rats) resulted in essentially identical plasma pNPYir concentrations in the two rat strains. In contrast, hyperresponsiveness to the MAP effects of bolus injections of pNPY in 12- to 17-week-old SHR was manifested as an increase in efficacy rather than potency, was associated with significantly smaller reductions in HR in SHR than in WKY and occurred at plasma pNPYir concentrations that were significantly larger than those required for infusion-associated hyperresponsiveness. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that NPY is an important contributor to the development and maintenance of essential hypertension. 相似文献

Studies from this laboratory have shown that the first filial offspring of female spontaneously-hypertensive rats and male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) normotensive rats develop stress-induced hypertension. The present study sought to examine the effects of intracerebroventricular administration of clonidine (8 micrograms) on cardiovascular and sympathoadrenal responses to aversive classical conditioning in these borderline hypertensive rats (BHR) and in normotensive WKY control rats. Clonidine caused significant reductions in resting arterial pressure, vascular resistance, heart rate and concentrations of epinephrine (E) in plasma for both hypertensive and normotensive rats. Central administration of normal saline to control rats of each strain did not alter basal cardiovascular or sympathoadrenal function. The presentation of a conditioned stimulus (CS) elicited a significant increase in arterial pressure and total peripheral resistance in hypertensive rats treated with saline and clonidine and in normotensive rats treated with saline. In contrast, normotensive rats treated with clonidine showed no increases in arterial pressure or vascular resistance following the onset of the conditioned stimulus. The aversive conditioning session instigated significant increases in the concentrations of norepinephrine (NE) and E in plasma in saline-treated rats. Hypertensive and normotensive rats treated with clonidine-showed a blunted increase in plasma concentrations of NE and E during this period; however, concentrations of E in hypertensive rats increased significantly from the baseline period after injection. These data suggest that an abnormality in central alpha 2-adrenoceptor-mediated inhibition of sympathoadrenal discharge and sympathetic vasomotor tone may predispose the hypertensive rat to develop stress-induced hypertension. 相似文献

1. The effects of the selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist, medetomidine, were assessed on plasma levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (IR-ANP), haemodynamics and on urine water and solute excretion in conscious, chronically cannulated, 7 month-old spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, in order to examine the role of alpha 2-adrenoceptors in the control of ANP secretion. 2. A 60 min i.v. infusion of medetomidine (0.2 or 0.6 microgram kg-1 min-1) decreased heart rate dose-dependently in both strains. Medetomidine infusion (0.6 microgram kg-1 min-1) resulted in an increase in mean arterial pressure in WKY, whereas both doses decreased blood pressure in SHR. There was a slight increase in the right atrial pressure in both strains (WKY: +1.18 +/- 0.26 mmHg; SHR: +1.64 +/- 0.64 mmHg, NS) in response to infusion of 0.6 microgram kg-1 min-1 of medetomidine. 3. No differences were found in resting plasma IR-ANP levels between WKY (114 +/- 8 pg ml-1, n = 19) and SHR (117 +/- 10 pg ml-1, n = 21). Infusion of equibradycardic doses of medetomidine increased dose-dependently plasma IR-ANP levels in WKY, but did not affect the plasma IR-ANP concentration in SHR rats. 4. Despite the different effect of medetomidine on ANP release in WKY and SHR rats, i.v. administration of medetomidine affected renal excretory functions similarly in both strains; urine flow and sodium excretion increased and urine osmolality decreased significantly, while there was no consistent change in urinary potassium excretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Cardiac structural and functional abnormalities are observed in metabolic syndrome. However, such changes have not been investigated in the SHRSP.Z-Lepr(fa)/IzmDmcr rat (SHRSP-fatty) model of metabolic syndrome. Here we compare cardiac size and hemodynamic function in these rats with their lean littermates (SHRSP) and normotensive control Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). In male 16-week-old SHRSP-fatty, we determined heart rate and systolic blood pressure (SBP) by tail-cuff, cardiac output (CO), subcutaneous peripheral blood flow (BF) and stroke volume (SV) by plethysmography, and systolic and diastolic functions by echocardiography. We also assessed weight and collagen type I expression by Western blot in isolated atrium and ventricle, and beat rate in isolated atrial preparation by myography. Heart rate was lower in conscious SHRSP-fatty than SHRSP, and the beat rate of isolated atria was lower in SHRSP-fatty and SHRSP than that of WKY. Atrial weight was larger in SHRSP-fatty than others. Ventricular weight of SHRSP-fatty and SHRSP was larger than WKY. There were significant inverse correlations between atrial weight and heart rate or beat rate in SHRSP-fatty. SBP, CO, BF and SV were increased in SHRSP-fatty similarly to SHRSP. Increased deceleration time and decreased E/A ratio, and preserved fractional shortening were observed in SHRSP-fatty. Expressions of collagen type I were increased in atria and ventricle of SHRSP-fatty. SHRSP-fatty with metabolic syndrome exhibit cardiac changes, including slowed heart rate, ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and fibrosis, and atrial enlargement. SHRSP-fatty may be a useful rat model to study on cardiac abnormalities in metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

Capsaicin treatment in adult Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats: effects on nociceptive behavior and cardiovascular regulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Effects of s.c. capsaicin pretreatment on nociception, mean systemic arterial blood pressure, and dose-response curves for depressor effects of substance P (SP) and pressor effects of angiotension II (AII) and norepinephrine (NE) were examined in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Capsaicin pretreatment significantly elevated hot plate and tail flick latencies in SHR subjects but was without effect in WKY rats. Capsaicin pretreatment significantly reduced mean systemic arterial blood pressure in rats of both strains. Both vehicle- and capsaicin-treated WKY subjects exhibited greater depressor responses than did subjects of the corresponding SHR groups after i.v. SP administration. Vehicle-treated SHR subjects exhibited greater pressor responses to both AII and NE than did rats of the vehicle-treated WKY group. Capsaicin treatment decreased the sensitivity of WKY rats to the pressor effects of both AII and NE. Strain differences involving nociception, cardiovascular regulation, and responses to capsaicin may underly the results reported. 相似文献

1. NG-nitro-L-arginine (NO2Arg) is a guanidine nitro arginine derivative and an inhibitor of endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation. Significant rise of the systolic blood pressure was observed after 1 week administration of NO2Arg in food (0.023% in weight, about 2.8 mg of NO2Arg/rat per day) in female rats of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). The rises were not different between SHRSP (21 mmHg) and WKY (23 mmHg). 2. In ring preparations of the thoracic aorta of NO2Arg-administered rats of both strains, relaxation by acetylcholine decreased markedly compared with those of the control rats (to 43-44%). On the contrary, glyceryltrinitrate-induced relaxation was slightly but significantly increased in the aorta of WKY after NO2Arg administration and the same tendency was observed in SHRSP. 3. The rise of blood pressure and the decrease of acetylcholine-induced relaxation suggested that NO2Arg inhibited the endothelium-dependent relaxation not only in WKY but also in SHRSP. The relaxation of the thoracic aorta preparation of SHRSP by acetylcholine was much less (ca 38%) than that of WKY; however, that of SHRSP by glyceryltrinitrate was slightly less (ca 74%), indicating that endothelium-dependent relaxation declined in vascular preparation of SHRSP. 4. The present results suggest that endothelium-dependent relaxation has some contribution on blood pressure regulation in the hypertensive state, although a decline of endothelium-dependent relaxation is evident in vascular preparation of SHRSP compared with WKY. 相似文献

To study the role of medullary alpha-adrenoceptors in hypertension, we compared specific binding of [3H]prazosin and [3H]clonidine in different brain regions of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP), and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). As compared with age-matched WKY, Bmax values for specific [3H]clonidine binding in the medulla oblongata were significantly lower in SHR and SHRSP at 16-24 weeks of age. In the SHRSP medulla oblongata, the decrease was more prominent in dorsomedial and ventrolateral regions than in the ventromedial region. Density of alpha 2-adrenoceptor binding sites was also decreased in the medulla oblongata of young (4-5-week-old) SHRSP. In contrast, there was no difference in Kd and Bmax values for medullary [3H]prazosin binding between WKY and SHRSP. The dorsomedial and ventrolateral regions of the SHRSP medulla oblongata showed significantly lower levels of norepinephrine (NE). Thus, the present study demonstrates that there is a specific loss of alpha 2-adrenoceptors in the medulla oblongata of SHR and SHRSP that may be partly involved in the pathogenesis of spontaneous hypertension. 相似文献

Effects of neuropeptide Y on norepinephrine release in hypothalamic slices of spontaneously hypertensive rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We describe the effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on [3H]norepinephrine (NE) release from hypothalamic slices of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The electrical stimulation (1 Hz)-evoked [3H]NE release was significantly greater in hypothalamic slices of SHR than in those of Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). NPY inhibited the stimulation-evoked [3H]NE release in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of NPY was significantly attenuated in SHR compared with WKY. The results may indicate that the less inhibitory effect of NPY on NE release induces increased sympathetic nerve activity in the hypothalamus of SHR. 相似文献

The elevated levels of circulating catecholamines (CAs) with age may be related to the increased expression of CA biosynthetic enzymes, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine β hydroxylase (DβH) in the adrenal medulla of senescent compared with younger animals. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is co-synthesized and co-released with CAs in the adrenal medulla. NPY inhibits the stimulated secretion of CAs, however, its role in regulation of the genes encoding CA biosynthetic enzymes is not clear. We hypothesized that NPY up-regulates TH, DβH and NPY expression in the adrenal medullae of young and old Fischer-344 rats. NPY increased mRNA expression of TH, DβH, NPY and also enhanced TH protein level in the adrenal medullae of young rats by 50%, 35%, 45% and by 20%, respectively. We also examined the effect of NPY on TH and NPY mRNA in the hypothalamus. Basal expression of TH mRNA was decreased in the hypothalamus with age. DNA binding activities of activator protein-1 and cAMP response element binding protein were also augmented only in the young by 140% and 125%, respectively. We conclude that NPY stimulates the CA biosynthetic pathway in the adrenal medulla and positive auto-regulation of NPY might be involved in this process. The stimulatory effect of NPY on adrenomedullary CA biosynthetic pathway is blunted with age. 相似文献

An optimalized technique for chronic venous and arterial cannulation of rodents that permits repeated blood collections in unstressed, freely moving animals is presented. The indwelling catheter can also be used for chronic and/or acute drug administration in rats or other small laboratory animals, as well as for the recording of blood pressure and heart rate. The attachment device of minimal size is easily fixed on the head of the animals, allowing the additional implantation of a chronic cannula for intracerebral injections. No residual effects on the resting levels of plasma catecholamines (CA) were present 24-hr after surgery and anesthesia for implanting the cannula. No variations of plasma CA concentrations were observed at the different times of day examined or as a consequence of withdrawal of subsequent blood samples. Training the animals to be handled prevented the increase in plasma prolactin levels produced by decapitation; training had no influence on the decapitation-induced rises in plasma CA concentrations. 相似文献

L-659,066 is a new alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist which does not enter the central nervous system after systemic administration and therefore can be used to examine effects of blockade of peripheral alpha 2-receptors on hemodynamics and plasma levels of catechols. After i.v. administration to conscious rats, L-659,066 produced dose-related, small decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and large increases in heart rate (HR), arterial plasma levels of norepinephrine (NE), and levels of the intraneuronal NE metabolite, dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG). After administration of L-659,066, HR, but not MAP, was strongly correlated with NE levels (r = 0.93, P less than 0.001). Levels of DHPG and dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) also were strongly correlated with NE levels (r = 098 and r = 0.71). After comparison with responses during hypotension induced by the vasodilator, nitroprusside, the results indicated that L-659,066 increases sympathetically mediated NE release and catecholamine turnover due to inhibition of presynaptic alpha 2-receptors as well as due to reflexive sympathetic activation related to blockade of alpha 2-receptors on arterial smooth muscle cells. 相似文献

Recent studies suggest that a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for blood pressure (BP) on rat chromosome 1 is associated with exaggerated sympathetic nervous activity. The aim of the present study was to examine whether this QTL can affect BP by altering sympathetic control of renal function. Male stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats of Izumo origin (SHRSP/Izm), Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY/Izm) and rats from a WKY/Izm congenic strain that contains an SHRSP/Izm chromosomal segment between D1Wox29 and D1Arb21 (WKYpch1.0) were used. Clearance and micropuncture experiments were performed in anaesthetized rats after acute unilateral renal denervation (DN). Mean BP in sham-operated WKYpch1.0 was significantly higher than that in WKY/Izm. The DN procedure elicited a greater reduction in renal noradrenaline levels in SHRSP/Izm and WKYpch1.0 than in WKY/Izm. In both SHRSP/Izm and WKYpch1.0, DN decreased renal vascular resistance and filtration fraction, whereas it increased renal blood flow and urinary and fractional excretion of sodium. Unilateral renal denervation did not affect these parameters in WKY/Izm. Unilateral renal denervation decreased the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) responsiveness only in SHRSP/Izm, whereas it increased the non-perfused early proximal flow rate in SHRSP/Izm and WKYpch1.0. The results of the present study indicate that the renal sympathetic nervous system exerts enhanced tonic control of the renal vasculature and tubular function in SHRSP/Izm and WKYpch1.0, but not in WKY/Izm. Neural impact on the TGF response in WKYpch1.0 is indiscernible. Thus, a gene or genes in the QTL may influence BP, at least in part, through renal vasoconstriction and sodium retention mediated by the enhanced activity of the renal sympathetic nerves. 相似文献

The dose-response effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the vehicle, 0.9% NaCl, on mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP), an index of body venous tone, were examined in conscious, intact and hexamethonium-treated rats. Saline infusions in intact and hexamethonium-treated rats did not significantly affect MAP, HR and MCFP. The i.v. infusion of NPY in intact rats dose dependently increased MAP, decreased HR, but did not alter MCFP. In the presence of hexamethonium, the pressor effect of NPY was enhanced, the lack of MCFP effect remained and the bradycardic effect was markedly attenuated. Our results suggest that NPY has moderate effects on MAP, but negligible effects on body venous tone. 相似文献

The influence of naloxone on recovery from hemorrhagic hypotension was investigated in conscious normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) Wistar-Kyoto rats. In both groups arterial blood pressure (MBP) was reduced to 50% of the resting level by arterial bleeding. Administration of naloxone (0.02 mg/kg iv) significantly impaired restitution of MBP in WKY and SHR in comparison to control experiments on WKY and SHR receiving no naloxone. The magnitude of this effect was similar in both strains, however in SHR, it appeared with a significant delay. The results indicate that small doses of naloxone may suppress recovery from hemorrhagic hypovolemia. 相似文献
