Inhibition of thermal panting by intracarotid infusion of hypertonic saline in dogs.

چکیده
Six dogs were surgically prepared with a right carotid loop and with the left common carotid artery ligated low in the neck. Respiratory frequency (f) and body temperature (Tb) were measured while the animals were at rest in a warm chamber (36-40 degrees C) in four separate experiments: 1) right intracarotid infusion of hypertonic NaCl; 2) right intracarotid infusion of isotonic NaCl; 3) intravenous infusion of hypertonic NaCl; and 4) no infusions. In a fifth experiment, right and left jugular and cephalic venous blood samples were collected before, during, and after the hypertonic intracarotid infusions. A 10-min infusion of hypertonic NaCl into the right common carotid artery elevated right jugular plasma osmolality by 33 mosmol/kg H2O, left jugular plasma osmolality by 26 mosmol/kg H2O, and cephalic plasma osmolality by 8 mosmol/kg H2O. A significant reversible drop in f and a rise in Tb occurred during hypertonic intracarotid infusions. Neither intracarotid infusion of isotonic NaCl nor intravenous infusion of hypertonic NaCl affected f or Tb. In experiments with no infusion, f and Tb did not change. It is concluded that brain receptors sensitive to extracellular solute concentration are able to influence the rate of thermoregulatory panting. This may underlie, in part, the reduced evaporation and elevated body temperatures that occur in dehydrated mammals exposed to heat.

Reflex circulatory effects elicited by hypertonic and hypotonic solutions injected into femoral and brachial arteries of dogs.
IN THE COURSE of study of the circulatory and renal responses to rapid saltloading in dogs, it was noted that intra-arterial (and intravenous) infusions of small volumes of hypertonic saline solution produced pronounced alterations in the blood pressure and heart rate. Results of infusions into the femoral and brachial arteries of dogs form the substance of the present communication. The findin...
متن کاملSclerosing Cholangitis Induced by Intra-Biliary Tree Injection of Silver Nitrate or Hypertonic Saline Solutions in Rabbit
Background: One of the most serious late complications, after evacuation of liver hydatid cyst and instillation of scolicidal agents is sclerosing cholangitis, most probably caused by the type of scolicidal agents instilled. Objective: To determine the incidence of sclerosing cholangitis after intra-biliary tract infusion of 5% saline and 0.5% silver nitrate. Methods: 5% hypertonic saline and ...
متن کاملEffects of intracarotid injections of hypertonic solutions on arterial pressure in the rabbit.
The intracarotid injection of hypertonie saline in the rabbit induces a brief drop in arterial pressure, followed by a somewhat longer pressor phase. The "osmoreceptors" activating these changes are related to the hindbrain and are not the elements responsible for releasing neurohypophysial hormones. The pressure changes are not prevented by vagotomy, deafferentation of the carotid body and sin...
متن کاملHypertonic sodium resuscitation after hemorrhage improves hemodynamic function by stimulating cardiac, but not renal, sympathetic nerve activity.
Small volume hypertonic saline resuscitation can be beneficial for treating hemorrhagic shock, but the mechanism remains poorly defined. We investigated the effects of hemorrhagic resuscitation with hypertonic saline on cardiac (CSNA) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and the resulting cardiovascular consequences. Studies were performed on conscious sheep instrumented with cardiac (n=...
متن کاملEffect of hyperosmotic solutions on salt excretion and thirst in rats.
We investigated urinary changes and thirst induced by infusion of hyperosmotic solutions in freely moving rats. Intracarotid infusions of 0.3 M NaCl (4 ml/20 min, split between both internal carotid arteries) caused a larger increase in excretion of Na(+) and K(+) than intravenous infusions, indicating that cephalic sensors were involved in the response to intracarotid infusions. Intravenous an...
