چکیده

In 6 normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and 6 spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) anesthetized with urethane and chloralose, paralyzed, artificially ventilated, vagotomized with carotid sinus nerves bilaterally cut, somatosympathetic reflex discharges were recorded in cervical and renal nerves by stimulating group II and III cutaneous afferents in the sural nerve. Only a long-circuited, late supraspinal component reflex discharge could be elicited. After averaging the responses evoked by random stimulation, the latency of the reflex discharge was significantly longer in the renal than in the cervical sympathetic nerve, equally in the WKY rat and in SHR. In WKY rats the peak of sympathetic discharge corresponded to early expiration, whereas in SHRs--to late inspiratory phase. The duration of the reflex discharge elicited in inspiration was greater in SHR than in WKY rats. In WKY rats stimuli applied during phrenic discharge produced a reflex response of longer latency and of reduced amplitude than those applied in expiration. In SHRs the latency of the reflex response in the sympathetic cervical nerve was shorter during inspiration than in expiratory phase. The timing of the sympathetic reflex responsiveness within respiratory cycle in SHR and in WKY rats corresponded to strain-dependent opposite respiratory synchronization pattern of the spontaneous sympathetic activity characterizing each strain. No respiratory modulation of the somatosympathetic reflex was observed in the renal nerve of SHR. It is concluded that both spontaneous and evoked sympathetic activity is synchronized differently in SHR and in WKY rats and this difference is both species- and strain-dependent.

Lesions of the commissural nucleus of the solitary tract reduce arterial pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

It has been suggested that increased sympathetic activity and arterial chemoreceptors are important for the high blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Electrolytic lesions of the commissural nucleus of the solitary tract (commNTS) abolish (1) the cardiovascular responses to chemoreflex activation with potassium cyanide (KCN) in normotensive rats and (2) the hypertension that ...

High NaCl diet enhances arterial baroreceptor reflex in NaCl-sensitive spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that arterial baroreceptor reflex control of lumbar sympathetic nerve activity is blunted in the NaCl-sensitive spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR-S) compared with either the NaCl-resistant spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR-R) or the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat. In the current study, the effect of dietary NaCl supplementation on arteria...

Hemodynamic responses to bilateral lesions of the nucleus tractus solitarii in spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive rats.

Systemic and regional hemodynamic responses to bilateral lesions of the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) were studied in alpha-chloralose-urethane anesthetized American Wistar rats (NR), Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by microsphere methods. After NTS lesions, arterial pressure rose by virtue of increased total peripheral resistance in each strain. Cardiac out...

alpha(2)-Adrenergic receptors in NTS facilitate baroreflex function in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats.

We examined the effect of alpha(2)-adrenoreceptor blockade in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) on baroreflex responses elicited by electrical stimulation of the left aortic depressor nerve (ADN) in urethane-anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, n = 11) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY, n = 11). ADN stimulation produced a frequency-dependent decrease in mean arterial p...
