Effects of angiotensins on day-night fluctuations and stress-induced changes in blood pressure.

چکیده
In this study we evaluated by telemetry the effects of ANG II and ANG-(1-7) infusion on the circadian rhythms of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) and on the cardiovascular adjustment resulting from restraint stress in rats. ANG II or ANG-(1-7) or vehicle were infused subcutaneously for 7 days. Restraint stress was carried out before, during, and after infusion at 7-day intervals. Parallel with an increase in MAP, ANG II infusion produced an inversion of MAP circadian rhythm with a significant MAP acrophase inversion. It also produced bradycardia during the first 3 days of infusion. Thereafter, HR progressively increased, reaching values similar to or above those of the control period at the end of the infusion period. HR circadian variation was not changed by ANG II infusion. Strikingly, ANG II significantly attenuated the increase in MAP induced by restraint stress without altering the HR response. ANG-(1-7) infusion produced a slight but significant decrease in MAP restricted to the daytime period. No significant changes in the MAP acrophase were observed. In addition, ANG-(1-7) infusion produced a small but significant sustained bradycardia. ANG-(1-7) did not change cardiovascular responses to restraint stress. These data indicate that ANG II can influence the activity of brain areas involved in the determination of stress-induced or circadian-dependent variations of blood pressure without changing HR fluctuations. A significant modulatory influence of ANG-(1-7) on basal MAP and HR is also suggested.

Doxorubicin (DOX) induces oxidative stress leading to cardiovascular abnormalities. Green tea extract (GTE) is reported to possess antioxidant activity mainly by means of its polyphenolic constituent, catechins. Our study was aimed to find out the effect of GTE (100 mg/kg / day p.o. for 28 days) on DOX induced (3 mg/kg, IP on days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28) cardiovascular abnormalities in rat heart. DOX...
