چکیده

Previous studies have demonstrated that central injection of L-carnosine (beta-alynyl-L-histidine), dipeptide synthesized in mammalian muscles, affects renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and blood pressure (BP) in anesthetized rats. In the present study, using urethane-anesthetized rats, we examined the dose-dependent effects of intravenous (IV) injection of various doses of anserine, dipeptide of similar structure to L-carnosine, on RSNA, BP and heart rate (HR). We found that injection of a low dose of anserine (1 microg) significantly suppressed RSNA, BP and HR. Conversely, a high dose (1000 microg) of anserine significantly elevated RSNA, BP and HR. Pretreatment with lateral cerebral ventricular (LCV) injection of thioperamide, a histaminergic H(3)-receptor antagonist, eliminated the effects of a low dose of anserine on RSNA, BP and HR. LCV injection of diphenhydramine, a histaminergic H(1)-receptor antagonist, abolished the effects of a high dose of anserine on RSNA, BP and HR. These findings suggest that anserine affects RSNA, BP and HR in a dose-dependent manner, and that the histaminergic nerve may be involved in the dose-different effects of anserine in rats.

Effect of cervical sympathetic trunk transection on renal sympathetic nerve activity in rats.

Stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) with a local anesthetic increases muscle sympathetic nerve activity in the tibial nerve in humans. However, whether this sympathetic excitation in the tibial nerve is due to a sympathetic blockade in the neck itself, or due to infiltration of a local anesthetic to adjacent nerves including the vagus nerve remains unknown. To rule out one mechanism, we examined t...

Effect of auditory stimulation on parasympathetic nerve activity in urethane-anesthetized rats.

Previously, it has been demonstrated that auditory stimulation with music (Traeumerei [TM] by Schumann) decreased renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and blood pressure (BP) with a central mechanism, while it is unknown whether TM affects parasympathetic nerve activity. Here, the effects of auditory stimulation with TM on gastric vagal nerve activity (GVNA) in urethane-anesthetized rats wer...

Nitric oxide-independent effects of tempol on sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure in normotensive rats.

The role of the sympathetic nervous system in 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidinoxyl (tempol)-induced cardiovascular responses in urethane-anesthetized, normotensive rats was evaluated. Tempol caused dose-dependent (30-300 micromol/kg iv) decreases in renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR). Similar responses were obtained after sino...

The effect of reversible inactivation of the central amygdaloid nucleus on cardiovascular responses in rats with renal hypertension

The brain rennin-angiotensin system (RAS) has an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular function. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of reversible inactivation of the central amygdaloid nucleus (Ace) in normotensive rats and rats with renal hypertension (2K-1C). Two groups of normotensive rats were selected for this study. In one group, hypertension was induced...
