Intravenous angiotensin induces brain c-fos expression and vasopressin release in the near-term ovine fetus.
The effect of intravenous angiotensin II (ANG II) on fetal brain c-fos expression and arginine vasopressin (AVP) release was studied in the near-term ovine fetus. Fetuses with chronically implanted catheters received an intravenous infusion of ANG II or saline. Fetal plasma AVP concentrations were significantly increased after the peripheral administration of ANG II, with peak levels (3-fold) a...
متن کاملCentral cholinergic mechanisms mediate swallowing, renal excretion, and c-fos expression in the ovine fetus near term.
Fetal swallowing and renal metabolism contribute importantly to amniotic and body fluid homeostasis. To determine central cholinergic modulation of swallowing activity and renal excretion associated with neural activity, we examined the effects of intracerebroventricular injection of carbachol, a cholinergic agonist, in ovine fetuses at 0.9 gestation. Fetuses were chronically prepared with thyr...
متن کاملLong-term hypoxia enhances proopiomelanocortin processing in the near-term ovine fetus.
Secondary stressors in long-term hypoxic (LTH) fetal sheep lead to altered function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Although ACTH is considered the primary mediator of glucocorticoid production in fetal sheep, proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and 22-kDa pro-ACTH (22-kDa ACTH) have been implicated in the regulation of cortisol production in the ovine fetus. This study was designed to deter...
متن کاملLong-term hypoxia represses the expression of key genes regulating cortisol biosynthesis in the near-term ovine fetus.
Basal plasma ACTH(1-39) concentrations are elevated in long-term hypoxic (LTH) fetal sheep. This study was designed to determine whether the expression of genes regulating cortisol biosynthesis was altered after LTH. Pregnant ewes were maintained at high altitude (3,820 m) from day 30 of gestation to near term, when the animals were transported to the laboratory. Reduced PO2 was maintained by n...
متن کاملOsmotic threshold and sensitivity for vasopressin release and fos expression by hypertonic NaCl in ovine fetus.
In adults, hyperosmolality stimulates central osmoreceptors, resulting in arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion. Near-term fetal sheep have also developed mechanisms to respond to intravascular hypertonicity with stimulation of in utero AVP release. However, prior studies demonstrating fetal AVP secretion have utilized plasma tonicity changes greater than those required for adult osmotically ind...
