大鼠下丘脑外侧区内微量注射胃动素对胃窦运动和迷走背核复合体神经元电活动的影响

采用清醒大鼠胃运动记录和玻璃微电极记录神经元活动的实验方法 ,研究下丘脑外侧区 (lateralhy pothalamicarea,LHA)微量注射胃动素 (motilin) ,对清醒大鼠胃窦运动和对麻醉大鼠迷走背核复合体 (dorsalvagalcomplex ,DVC)中胃扩张敏感神经元电活动的调节作用。LHA内微量注射胃动素 (0 37nmol/ 0 5 μl)可使胃窦运动增强 76 2 9± 4 0 9% (P <0 0 1)。DVC中 6 0个胃扩张 (gastricdistention ,GD)敏感神经元中 ,39(6 5 % )个GD刺激引起电活动增强 ,2 1(35 % )个电活动减弱 ,分别称之为GD兴奋型神经元和GD抑制型神经元。双侧LHA微量注射胃动素 0 37nmol/ 0 5 μl,14个GD抑制型神经元中有 12个单位放电频率增加 4 4 35± 7 89% (P <0 0 1) ;2 4个GD兴奋型神经元中有 15个单位放电频率减少 7 17± 7 89% (P <0 0 5 )。结果提示 ,中枢胃动素可能通过LHA-DVC-迷走神经实现对胃窦运动的调控

Administration of motilin into the lateral hypothalamus increases gastric antrum motility and activates the dorsal vagal complex in rats

The effects of administration of motilin into the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) on gastric antrum motility in conscious rats and on gastric distention (GD) sensitive neurons in dorsal vagal complex (DVC) in anesthetized rats were studied. Microinjection of motilin (0.37 nmol/0.5 microl) into the LHA increased the gastric antrum motility index by 76.29 +/- 4.09% (P<0.01). In 60 GD sensitive neurons, firing rate increased in 39 neurons (65%) and decreased in 21 neurons (35%), which were classified as GD-excitatory and GD-inhibitory neurons, respectively. Firing rate by 7.17 +/- 7.89% within 1.5 min in 15 of 24 GD-excitatory neurons, and firing rate increased by 44.35 +/- 7.89% in 12 of 14 GD-inhibitory neurons after motilin microinjection into the LHA. The results suggest that exogenous motilin in LHA plays a role in the regulation of gastric antrum motility possibly via the vagal pathway from LHA-DVC to the stomach.
