Nitric oxide modulation of glutamatergic, baroreflex, and cardiopulmonary transmission in the nucleus of the solitary tract.
The neuromodulatory effect of NO on glutamatergic transmission has been studied in several brain areas. Our previous single-cell studies suggested that NO facilitates glutamatergic transmission in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). In this study, we examined the effect of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on glutamatergic and reflex tran...
متن کاملEndogenous leptin contributes to baroreflex suppression within the solitary tract nucleus of aged rats.
The decline in cardiovagal baroreflex function that occurs with aging is accompanied by an increase in circulating leptin levels. Our previous studies showed that exogenous leptin impairs the baroreflex sensitivity for control of heart rate in younger rats, but the contribution of this hormone to baroreflex dysfunction during aging is unknown. Thus we assessed the effect of bilateral leptin mic...
متن کاملModulation of synaptic transmission in the rat nucleus of the solitary tract by endomorphin-1.
Activation of opioid receptors in the periphery and centrally in the brain results in inhibition of gastric and other vagally mediated functions. The aim of this study was to examine the role of the endogenous opioid agonist endomorphin 1 (EM-1) in regulating synaptic transmission within the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), an integration site for autonomic functions. We performed whole cell p...
متن کاملResponses of lamb nucleus of the solitary tract neurons to chemical stimulation of the epiglottis.
Previous research has shown that applications of chemical stimuli to the epiglottis produced distinct patterns of activity in the lamb superior laryngeal nerve. To determine the response characteristics of second-order neurons, we recorded from single cells in the lamb nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) while stimulating the epiglottis with 0.5 M KCl, NH4Cl, NaCl, LiCl, distilled water, 0.005 ...
متن کاملLeptin impairs cardiovagal baroreflex function at the level of the solitary tract nucleus.
Circulating leptin is elevated in some forms of obesity-related hypertension, associated with impaired baroreflex function. Leptin receptors are present on vagal afferent fibers and neurons within the solitary tract nucleus, providing an anatomic distribution consistent with baroreflex modulation. Although solitary tract nucleus microinjection of 144 fmol/60 nL of leptin had no significant effe...
