GABA mechanisms of the nucleus of the solitary tract regulates the cardiovascular and sympathetic effects of moxonidine
The antihypertensive drugs moxonidine and clonidine are α2-adrenoceptor and imidazoline (I1) agonists. Previous results from our laboratory have shown that moxonidine can act in the commissural nucleus of the solitary tract (commNTS). In addition, some studies have shown that GABA or glutamate receptor blockade in the RVLM blunted the hypotension produced by these antihypertensive agents in spo...
متن کاملRestoration of Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla Cystathionine-γ Lyase Activity Underlies Moxonidine-Evoked Neuroprotection and Sympathoinhibition in Diabetic Rats.
We recently demonstrated a fundamental role for cystathionine-γ lyase (CSE)-derived hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the cardioprotective effect of the centrally acting drug moxonidine in diabetic rats. Whether a downregulated CSE/H2S system in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) underlies neuronal oxidative stress and sympathoexcitation in diabetes has not been investigated. Along with addressin...
متن کاملRenal sympathoinhibition mediated by 5-HT(1A) receptors in the RVLM during severe hemorrhage in rats.
The role of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 1A (5-HT(1A)) receptors in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) in the mediation of the sympathoinhibitory and hypotensive responses to severe hemorrhage was examined in pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized rats. The control response to hemorrhage (1 ml/min to 50 mmHg) consisted of a fall in arterial blood pressure and an initial baroreflex increase in rena...
متن کاملThe Role of Parabrachial GABAA Receptors in Pain Modulation in Rats
Background & Objective: The parabrachial nucleus is a critical link in the transmission of short latency nociceptive information to midbrain neurons. GABA(A) receptors have bidirectional roles in controlling nociception and are abundant in the parabrachial region . We examined the effects of bilateral intra parabrachial microinjection of different doses of the GABA(A) receptor agonist, muscimo...
متن کاملIs the pain modulatory action of 17β-estradiol in locus coeruleus of male rats is mediated by GABAA receptors?
Introduction: Estradiol is a neuroactive steroid, which is found in several brain areas such as locus coeruleus (LC). Estradiol modulates nociception by binding to its receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membranebound receptors like glutamate and GABAA receptors. LC is involved in noradrenergic descending pain modulation. Methods: In order to study the effect of 17β-estra...
