Alterations in the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex in conscious inbred polydipsic (STR/N) mice.

چکیده
STR/N is an inbred strain of mice which is known to exhibit extreme polydipsia and polyuria. We previously found central administration of angiotensin II enhanced cardiovascular responses in STR/N mice than normal mice, suggesting that STR/N mice might exhibit different cardiovascular responses. Therefore, in this study, we investigated daily mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate, and changes in the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex in conscious STR/N mice and control (ICR) mice. We found that variability in daily mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate was significantly larger in STR/N mice than in ICR mice (p<0.05). There was a stronger response to phenylephrine (PE) in STR/N mice than in ICR mice. For baroreceptor reflex sensitivity, in the rapid response period, the slopes of PE and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were more negative in STR/N mice than in ICR mice. In the later period, the slopes of PE and SNP were negatively correlated between heart rate and blood pressure in ICR mice, but their slopes were positively correlated in STR/N mice. These results indicated that STR/N mice exhibited the different cardiovascular responses than ICR mice, suggesting that the dysfunction of baroreceptor reflex happened in conscious STR/N mice.

Reflex control of sympathetic nerve activity and heart rate from arterial baroreceptors in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats.
1. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and splanchnic sympathetic nerve activity were recorded in conscious, 4 months old, male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR; n = 9) and matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats (n = 8). 2. The reflex bradycardia and reflex inhibition of splanchnic sympathetic nerve activity were studied in each animal during baroreceptor activation. MAP was...
متن کاملPotentiation of the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex by sympathectomy in conscious rats.
In both animals and humans, stimuli leading to sympathetic activation are accompanied by an impairment of the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex. To determine whether sympathetic activity normally interferes with this reflex function we examined in conscious Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats the effect of chemical sympathectomy by 6-hydroxydopamine on the bradycardic response to baroreceptor stimulation indu...

To find mechanisms of an extreme polydipsia in an inbred strain of mice, STR/N, this study was undertaken using Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice as a control. During food deprivation, daily water intake of both strains decreased. The decrement in the STR/N mice was larger than that in the ICR mice. During dehydration, daily food intake of the STR/N mice was smaller than that of the ICR m...

Our previous studies have suggested that atrial natriuretic peptide in the caudal nucleus tractus solitarii is involved in the centrally mediated regulation of blood pressure in the salt-sensitive spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). The current study tested the hypothesis that endogenous atrial natriuretic peptide in the caudal nucleus tractus solitarii participates in baroreceptor reflex con...

The effects of antihypertensive treatment with four currently used agents (trichlormethiazide, atenolol, nicardipine, and enalapril) on the arterial baroreceptor reflex control of renal sympathetic nerve activity and heart rate were investigated in 45 conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats and 37 age-matched Wistar-Kyoto rats. Antihypertensive agents were administered for 2 weeks beginning a...
