猫延髓嘴侧腹外侧区微量注射内皮素－1对心血管和肾交感神经活动的影响

采用脑立体定向和脑内微量注射技术研究了猫延髓嘴侧腹外侧区（ｒＶＬＭ）微量注射内皮素－１（ＥＴ－１），对平均动脉压（ＭＡＰ）、心率（ＨＲ）和肾交感神经活动（ＲＮＡ）的影响。结果表明：ｒＶＬＭ内微量注射ＥＴ－１（２ｐｍｏｌ，０．５μｌ），可显著升高平均动脉压、增加心率和增强肾交感神经活动，并存在量－效间的正相关关系。双侧颈部迷走神经切断后，不影响上述结果。静脉预先给与α－受体阻断剂（Ｒｅｇｉｔｉｎｅ，５ｍｇ／ｋｇ），能显著抑制ＥＴ－１的上述升压作用。放射免疫观察到，ｒＶＬＭ内微量注射ＥＴ－１后，血浆精氨酸升压素（ＡＶＰ）含量显著升高，其变化与血压变化呈显著一致。以上结果提示，（１）ｒＶＬＭ内ＥＴ－１参与心血管活动的中枢调节，并显示有部位特异性；（２）该调节作用主要通过改变交感神经传出活动实现，而与迷走神经活动无关；（３）ｒＶＬＭ内ＥＴ－１还可能激动下丘脑室旁核及视上核的升压素能神经元，从而参与心血管活动的调节。

Effect of microinjection of endothelin-1 into rostral ventrolateral medulla on cardiovascular responses and renal sympathetic nerve activity in cats

In the present work we investigated the effect of administration of endothelin-1(ET-1) into rostral ventrolateral medulla(rVLM) on cardiovascular responses and renal nerve activity in cats by using sterotaxic technique and microinjection method.The results suggested that(1)ET-1 in the rVLM participating in central regulation of cardiovascular system and position was peculiar and the effect was dose-dependence;(2)cardiovascular regulation produced by ET-1 in the rVLM was performed by mainly intensifying sympathetic activity,but not inhibiting vagal activity;and(3) some nuclei in the hypothalamus might be involved in cardiovascular regulation.
