چکیده
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA; 0.1-10 mg/kg), indomethacin (IND; 0.1-1.0 mg/kg), and tartrazine (TZ; 0.1-2.0 mg/kg), given intravenously induced dose-dependent increases in carotid-sinus nerve (CSN) activity, accompanied by increases in mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), but only the IND-induced MABP increases were dose-dependent. The MABP and CSN activity responses to all three drugs were not correlated, suggesting a direct action on CSN afferents that is unrelated to the pressor effects of the drugs. Sodium cromoglycate (10 mg/kg) selectively reduced the increases in CSN response to ASA and IND. Phentolamine (0.2 mg/kg) inhibited the increased CSN activity induced by ASA, IND, and TZ. These findings indicate that ASA, IND, and TZ act directly on carotid baroreceptors to increase their activity.

Effect of Digitalis on Carotid Sinus Baroreceptor Activity
The effect of intracarotid injections of ouabain (25.0 ng) or acetylstrophanthidin (1.56 tig) on feline carotid sinus baroreceptors was evaluated using an isolated perfused carotid sinus preparation. The effects of the drugs on baroreceptor activity were determined by monitoring carotid sinus nerve activity and systemic arterial blood pressure. Administration of either drug to the isolated caro...
متن کاملProstaglandins contribute to activation of baroreceptors in rabbits. Possible paracrine influence of endothelium.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that prostaglandins released from vascular endothelial cells contribute to activation of baroreceptors during increases in arterial pressure. Baroreceptor activity was recorded from the vascularly isolated carotid sinus in rabbits anesthetized with chloralose. Baroreceptor activity was measured during ramp or step increases in nonpulsatile ca...
متن کاملEffects of tartrazine of different contractile stimuli in guinea pig tracheal muscle.
Tracheal smooth muscle obtained from ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs contracted with micromolar concentrations of tartrazine and indomethacin. The contractions were slightly reduced by clemastine, but were completely blocked by the SRS-A antagonist FPL 55712. Arylsulfatase B, which is an enzyme that inactivates SRS-A, also abolished the contractions induced by tartrazine. Contractions induced ...
متن کاملDeterminants of sensitization of carotid baroreceptors by pulsatile pressure in dogs.
The threshold pressure of single baroreceptor units is decreased after compared with before exposure to pulsatile pressure according to previous studies in our laboratory. The purpose of the present study is to characterize the determinants of sensitization of arterial baroreceptors by pulsatile pressure. Carotid sinus nerve activity was recorded in dogs anesthetized with chloralose. Two indexe...
متن کاملChange in liver blood flow and blood content in dogs during direct and reflex alteration of hepatic sympathetic nerve activity.
A mean decrease of 60% in liver blood volume was recorded by a plethysmographic technique during electrical stimulation of the hepatic nerves in anesthetized, vagotomized dogs. A decrease in pressure in the vascularly isolated carotid sinus to 40 mm Hg, from a mean control of 144 mm Hg, decreased liver blood volume by a mean of 16%; arterial blood pressure increased by a mean of 77 mm Hg. Carot...
