چکیده
5-Hydroxytryptamine 1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonists reverse the hypotensive and sympathoinhibitory responses to severe hemorrhage in rats. To determine whether 5-HT1A receptor-mediated pressor responses in hypovolemic animals are due to sympathoexcitation and/or direct vasoconstriction, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) responses to the partial 5-HT1A receptor agonist buspirone or the more selective, full 5-HT1A receptor agonist (+)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) were compared in intact and ganglionic blocked, hemorrhaged Sprague-Dawley rats. Buspirone produced dose-dependent increases in BP (110 +/- 4(**), 86 +/- 4(**), 65 +/- 7 mm Hg), HR [369 +/- 10(**), 337 +/- 14, 277 +/- 16 beats per minute (bpm)], and RSNA (114 +/- 36(**), 34 +/- 21, -23 +/- 25% baseline for 0.2, 0.1, and 0 mg/kg; (**)p < 0.01 versus 0 mg/kg, 3 min after injection). Ganglionic blockade with hexamethonium chloride blocked the pressor effect of 9.9 microg/kg 8-OH-DPAT and attenuated, but did not block, the pressor response to 0.2 mg/kg buspirone (85 +/- 7 versus 46 +/- 6 mm Hg for buspirone + ganglionic blockade versus saline + ganglionic blockade; p < 0.01). In subsequent tests, rats treated with the selective alpha1-adrenergic receptor antagonist prazosin (25 microg/kg) continued to show extensive tachycardic (+73 +/- 26 bpm) and sympathoexcitatory (128 +/- 55% baseline) responses to 0.2 mg/kg buspirone. Ganglionic blockade combined with prazosin completely blocked all responses to buspirone. Buspirone (0.2 mg/kg) produced significant bradycardic (-89 +/- 12 bpm; p < 0.01) and sympathoinhibitory (-72 +/- 7% baseline; p < 0.01) responses in euvolemic rats 3 min after injection. It is concluded that the pressor effect of buspirone is unique to hypovolemic animals and is mediated by sympathetic activation as well as direct activation of vascular alpha1-adrenergic receptors.

Activation of neuronal endothelin B receptors mediates pressor response through alpha‐1 adrenergic receptors
Abnormalities in activity of the endothelin (ET) system have been widely reported in a number of cardiovascular disease states such as hypertension and heart failure. Although the vascular responses to ET are well established, the interaction between ET and other important modulators of blood pressure, such as the sympathetic nervous system, are less understood. Previous reports implicate ET si...

Adjuvant treatment of hypovolemic shock with vasoconstrictors is controversial due to their propensity to raise arterial resistance and exacerbate ischemia. A more advantageous therapeutic approach would use agents that also promote venoconstriction to augment perfusion pressure through increased venous return. Recent studies indicate that 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT)(1A) receptor agonists increa...

BACKGROUND Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and cardiovascular complications in hypertensive subjects. The aim of this study was to explore the mechanisms for LVH including activation of the renin-angiotensin system system (RAS) and the sympathetic nervous system and their activation by insulin using a rat model of hyperinsulinemia a...
