Acupuncture Attenuates Renal Sympathetic Activity and Blood Pressure via Beta-Adrenergic Receptors in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
The sympathetic nervous system, via epinephrine and norepinephrine, regulates β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) expression, and renal sympathetic activation causes sustained increases in blood pressure by enhanced renin release. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of acupuncture at Taichong (LR3) on renal sympathetic activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats. U...
متن کاملThromboxane synthesis and blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
The present study examines effects of administration of OKY 046, an inhibitor of thromboxane synthesis, for 100 days on systemic blood pressure and renal function in spontaneously hypertensive rats and in normotensive control rats. Untreated spontaneously hypertensive rats had higher values for thromboxane excretion in the urine and higher values for blood pressure than did normotensive control...
متن کاملVasopressin and Blood Pressure in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
In conscious, unrestrained spontaneously hypertensiTe rats (SHR), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) increased from a pretreatment value of 150 ± 4 to 179 ± 7 mm Hg within 10 min (p < 0.01) following an intracerebroventricular (I.C.T.) Injection of captopril (2 mg/kg body weight), and the plasma vasopressin concentration was increased eightfold (p < 0.01). MAP then fell to 131 ± 5 mm Hg at 120 ...
متن کاملDoes vasopressin sustain blood pressure in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats?
To investigate the possible role of arginine vasopressin in maintaining high blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), the effect of two arginine vasopressin pressor antagonists on mean arterial pressure and the pressor responsiveness to exogenous arginine vasopressin were studied in conscious, freely moving SHR and in Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Intravenous injections of either d(C...
متن کاملDietary calcium alters blood pressure reactivity in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Plasma catecholamines and blood pressure reactivity were investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats maintained on three levels of dietary calcium: low (0.1%), intermediate (1.0%), or high (2.0%). In the SHR, restricted dietary calcium resulted in elevations of mean arterial pressure that were most pronounced during handling and restraint stress (p less tha...
