Mechanisms of ventilatory acclimatization to chronic hypoxia remain unclear. To determine whether the sensitivity of peripheral chemoreceptors to hypoxia increases during acclimatization, we measured ventilatory and carotid sinus nerve responses to isocapnic hypoxia in seven cats exposed to simulated altitude of 15,000 ft (barometric pressure = 440 Torr) for 48 h. A control group (n = 7) was selected for hypoxic ventilatory responses matched to the preacclimatized measurements of the experimental group. Exposure to 48 h of hypobaric hypoxia produced acclimatization manifested as decrease in end-tidal PCO2 (PETCO2) in normoxia (34.5 +/- 0.9 Torr before, 28.9 +/- 1.2 after the exposure) as well as in hypoxia (28.1 +/- 1.9 Torr before, 21.8 +/- 1.9 after). Acclimatization produced an increase in hypoxic ventilatory response, measured as the shape parameter A (24.9 +/- 2.6 before, 35.2 +/- 5.6 after; P less than 0.05), whereas values in controls remained unchanged (25.7 +/- 3.2 and 23.1 +/- 2.7; NS). Hypoxic exposure was associated with an increase in the carotid body response to hypoxia, similarly measured as the shape parameter A (24.2 +/- 4.7 in control, 44.5 +/- 8.2 in acclimatized cats). We also found an increased dependency of ventilation on carotid body function (PETCO2 increased after unilateral section of carotid sinus nerve in acclimatized but not in control animals). These results suggest that acclimatization is associated with increased hypoxic ventilatory response accompanied by enhanced peripheral chemoreceptor responsiveness, which may contribute to the attendant rise in ventilation.  相似文献

Carotid chemoreceptor activity during acute and sustained hypoxia in goats   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
The role of carotid body chemoreceptors in ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia, i.e., the progressive, time-dependent increase in ventilation during the first several hours or days of hypoxic exposure, is not well understood. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the effects of acute and prolonged (up to 4 h) hypoxia on carotid body chemoreceptor discharge frequency in anesthetized goats. The goat was chosen for study because of its well-documented and rapid acclimatization to hypoxia. The response of the goat carotid body to acute progressive isocapnic hypoxia was similar to other species, i.e., a hyperbolic increase in discharge as arterial PO2 (PaO2) decreased. The response of 35 single chemoreceptor fibers to an isocapnic [arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) 38-40 Torr)] decrease in PaO2 of from 100 +/- 1.7 to 40.7 +/- 0.5 (SE) Torr was an increase in mean discharge frequency from 1.7 +/- 0.2 to 5.8 +/- 0.4 impulses. During sustained isocapnic steady-state hypoxia (PaO2 39.8 +/- 0.5 Torr, PaCO2, 38.4 +/- 0.4 Torr) chemoreceptor afferent discharge frequency remained constant for the first hour of hypoxic exposure. Thereafter, single-fiber chemoreceptor afferents exhibited a progressive, time-related increase in discharge (1.3 +/- 0.2 impulses.s-1.h-1, P less than 0.01) during sustained hypoxia of up to 4-h duration. These data suggest that increased carotid chemoreceptor activity contributes to ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia.  相似文献

Our objective was to test the hypothesis that exposure to prolonged hypoxia results in altered responsiveness to chemoreceptor stimulation. Acclimatization to hypoxia occurs rapidly in the awake goat relative to other species. We tested the sensitivity of the central and peripheral chemoreceptors to chemical stimuli before and after 4 h of either isocapnic or poikilocapnic hypoxia (arterial PO2 40 Torr). We confirmed that arterial PCO2 decreased progressively, reaching a stable value after 4 h of hypoxic exposure (poikilocapnic group). In the isocapnic group, inspired minute ventilation increased over the same time course. Thus, acclimatization occurred in both groups. In goats, isocapnic hypoxia did not result in hyperventilation on return to normoxia, whereas poikilocapnic hypoxia did cause hyperventilation, indicating a different mechanism for acclimatization and the persistent hyperventilation on return to normoxia. Goats exposed to isocapnic hypoxia exhibited an increased slope of the CO2 response curve. Goats exposed to poikilocapnic hypoxia had no increase in slope but did exhibit a parallel leftward shift of the CO2 response curve. Neither group exhibited a significant change in response to bolus NaCN injections or dopamine infusions after prolonged hypoxia. However, both groups demonstrated a similar significant increase in the ventilatory response to subsequent acute exposure to isocapnic hypoxia. The increase in hypoxic ventilatory sensitivity, which was not dependent on the modality of hypoxic exposure (isocapnic vs. poikilocapnic), reinforces the key role of the carotid chemoreceptors in ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia.  相似文献

During ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH), time-dependent increases in ventilation lower Pco(2) levels, and this persists on return to normoxia. We hypothesized that plasticity in the caudal nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) contributes to VAH, as the NTS receives the first synapse from the carotid body chemoreceptor afferents and also contains CO(2)-sensitive neurons. We lesioned cells in the caudal NTS containing the neurokinin-1 receptor by microinjecting the neurotoxin saporin conjugated to substance P and measured ventilatory responses in awake, unrestrained rats 18 days later. Lesions did not affect hypoxic or hypercapnic ventilatory responses in normoxic control rats, in contrast to published reports for similar lesions in other central chemosensitive areas. Also, lesions did not affect the hypercapnic ventilatory response in chronically hypoxic rats (inspired Po(2) = 90 Torr for 7 days). These results suggest functional differences between central chemoreceptor sites. However, lesions significantly increased ventilation in normoxia or acute hypoxia in chronically hypoxic rats. Hence, chronic hypoxia increases an inhibitory effect of neurokinin-1 receptor neurons in the NTS on ventilatory drive, indicating that these neurons contribute to plasticity during chronic hypoxia, although such plasticity does not explain VAH.  相似文献

Hypoxia stimulates ventilation, but when it is sustained, a decrease in the response is often seen. The mechanism of this depression or "roll off" is unclear. In this study we attempted to localize the responsible mechanism at one of three possible sites: the carotid bodies, the central nervous system (CNS), or the ventilatory apparatus. The ventilatory response to sustained hypoxia (PETO2, 40-50 Torr) was tested in 5 awake and 14 anesthetized adult cats. The roll off was found in both anesthetized and awake cats. Isocapnic hypoxia initially increased ventilation as well as phrenic and carotid sinus nerve activity in anesthetized cats (288 +/- 31, 269 +/- 31, 273 +/- 29% of control value, respectively). During the roll off, ventilation and phrenic nerve activity decreased similarly (to 230 +/- 26 and 222 +/- 28%, respectively after the roll off), but in contrast carotid sinus nerve activity remained unchanged (270 +/- 26%). Thus the ventilatory roll off was reflected in phrenic but not in carotid sinus nerve activity. We conclude that the cat represents a useful animal model of the roll off phenomenon and that the mechanism responsible for the secondary decrease in ventilation lays within the CNS.  相似文献

In awake animals, our laboratory recently showed that the hypoxic ventilatory response of adult male (but not female) rats previously subjected to neonatal maternal separation (NMS) is 25% greater than controls (Genest SE, Gulemetova R, Laforest S, Drolet G, and Kinkead R. J Physiol 554: 543-557, 2004). To begin mechanistic investigations of the effects of this neonatal stress on respiratory control development, we tested the hypothesis that, in male rats, NMS enhances central integration of carotid body chemoafferent signals. Experiments were performed on two groups of adult male rats. Pups subjected to NMS were placed in a temperature-controlled incubator 3 h/day from postnatal day 3 to postnatal day 12. Control pups were undisturbed. At adulthood (8-10 wk), rats were anesthetized (urethane; 1.6 g/kg), paralyzed, and ventilated with a hyperoxic gas mixture [inspired O2 fraction (Fi(O2)) = 0.5], and phrenic nerve activity was recorded. The first series of experiments aimed to demonstrate that NMS-related enhancement of the inspiratory motor output (phrenic) response to hypoxia occurs in anesthetized animals also. In this series, rats were exposed to moderate, followed by severe, isocapnic hypoxia (Fi(O2) = 0.12 and 0.08, respectively, 5 min each). NMS enhanced both the frequency and amplitude components of the phrenic response to hypoxia relative to controls, thereby validating the use of this approach. In a second series of experiments, NMS increased the amplitude (but not the frequency) response to unilateral carotid sinus nerve stimulation (stimulation frequency range: 0.5-33 Hz). We conclude that enhancement of central integration of carotid body afferent signal contributes to the larger hypoxic ventilatory response observed in NMS rats.  相似文献

Effects on ventilatory responses to progressive isocapnic hypoxia of a synthetic potent progestin, chlormadinone acetate (CMA), were determined in the halothane-anesthetized male rat. Ventilation during the breathing of hyperoxic gas was largely unaffected by treatment with CMA when carotid chemoreceptor afferents were kept intact. The sensitivity to hypoxia evaluated by hyperbolic regression analysis of the response curve did not differ between the control and CMA groups. The reduction of ventilation after bilateral section of the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) in hyperoxia was less severe in CMA-treated than in untreated animals. Furthermore, the CMA-treated rats showed a larger increase in ventilation during the hypoxia test and a lower PO2 break point for ventilatory depression. Inhibition of hypoxic ventilatory depression by CMA persisted even after the denervation of CSN. We conclude that exogenous progestin likely protects regulatory mechanism(s) for respiration against hypoxic depression through a stimulating action independent of carotid chemoreceptor afferents and without a change in the sensitivity of the ventilatory response to hypoxia.  相似文献

There is considerable interindividual variation in ventilatory response to hypoxia in humans but the mechanism remains unknown. To examine the potential contribution of variable peripheral chemorecptor function to variation in hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), we compared the peripheral chemoreceptor and ventilatory response to hypoxia in 51 anesthetized cats. We found large interindividual differences in HVR spanning a sevenfold range. In 23 cats studied on two separate days, ventilatory measurements were correlated (r = 0.54, P less than 0.01), suggesting stable interindividual differences. Measurements during wakefulness and in anesthesia in nine cats showed that although anesthesia lowered the absolute HVR it had no influence on the range or the rank of the magnitude of the response of individuals in the group. We observed a positive correlation between ventilatory and carotid sinus nerve (CSN) responses to hypoxia measured during anesthesia in 51 cats (r = 0.63, P less than 0.001). To assess the translation of peripheral chemoreceptor activity into expiratory minute ventilation (VE) we used an index relating the increase of VE to the increase of CSN activity for a given hypoxic stimulus (delta VE/delta CSN). Comparison of this index for cats with lowest (n = 5, HVR A = 7.0 +/- 0.8) and cats with highest (n = 5, HVR A = 53.2 +/- 4.9) ventilatory responses showed similar efficiency of central translation (0.72 +/- 0.06 and 0.70 +/- 0.08, respectively). These results indicate that interindividual variation in HVR is associated with comparable variation in hypoxic sensitivity of carotid bodies. Thus differences in peripheral chemoreceptor sensitivity may contribute to interindividual variability of HVR.  相似文献

Proteins harboring a Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain are versatile and allow archaea, bacteria, and plants to sense oxygen partial pressure, as well as light intensity and redox potential. A PAS domain associated with a histidine kinase domain is found in FixL, the oxygen sensor molecule of Rhizobium species. PASKIN is the mammalian homolog of FixL, but its function is far from being understood. Using whole body plethysmography, we evaluated the ventilatory response to acute and chronic hypoxia of homozygous deficient male and female PASKIN mice (Paskin-/-). Although only slight ventilatory differences were found in males, female Paskin-/- mice increased ventilatory response to acute hypoxia. Unexpectedly, females had an impaired ability to reach ventilatory acclimatization in response to chronic hypoxia. Central control of ventilation occurs in the brain stem respiratory centers and is modulated by catecholamines via tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity. We observed that TH activity was altered in male and female Paskin-/- mice. Peripheral chemoreceptor effects on ventilation were evaluated by exposing animals to hyperoxia (Dejours test) and domperidone, a peripheral ventilatory stimulant drug directly affecting the carotid sinus nerve discharge. Male and female Paskin-/- had normal peripheral chemosensory (carotid bodies) responses. In summary, our observations suggest that PASKIN is involved in the central control of hypoxic ventilation, modulating ventilation in a gender-dependent manner.  相似文献

The effects of intravenous infusion of dopamine (20 microgram.min) on the steady-state ventilatory and carotid chemoreceptor responses to successive levels of isocapnic hypoxia and hyperoxic hypercapnia were investigated in cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose. Dopamine infusion was followed by a maximal decrease in ventilation in about 20 s. Thereafter, the effect diminished and stabilized. Termination of dopamine infusion was promptly followed by an increase in ventilation. These ventilatory responses were smaller than the corresponding carotid chemoreceptor responses. The steady-state effect of dopamine infusion was to diminish ventilation at all levels of arterial O2 tension, the decrease being greater during hypoxia than that during hyperoxia. Bilateral section of the carotid sinus nerves significantly diminished but did not abolish the inhibitory effect of dopamine on ventilation during hyperoxia. Thus the ventilatory depression due to dopamine infusion is not entirely due to its effect on the carotid chemoreceptors. Dopamine decreased ventilatory responses to successive levels of hypercapnia by the same magnitude without changing the slope of the response curves. The steady-state relationship between chemoreceptor activity and ventilation shows that the ventilatory equivalent for carotid chemoreceptor activity is increased during dopamine infusion because of its greater inhibitory effect on carotid chemoreceptor activity than on ventilation with the decrease of arterial O2 tension.  相似文献

The muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (105 mM) dramatically decreased the response to increased CO2 when applied by cotton pledgets to the rostral ventrolateral medulla ventilatory chemosensitive area in anesthetized, paralyzed, vagotomized, glomectomized, and servoventilated cats with integrated phrenic nerve activity used as respiratory center output. Lower dose atropine (4.4 mM) and the M1-muscarinic receptor subtype antagonist pirenzepine (10 mM) also significantly decreased the mean CO2 response slope 48.3 +/- 6.2 and 40.7 +/- 6.0% (SE), respectively, and significantly decreased the maximum response value 26.3 +/- 8.1 and 19.2 +/- 3.2%, respectively, without significant effects on blood pressure or on the phrenic response to carotid sinus nerve stimulation. The M2-muscarinic receptor subtype antagonist AF-DX 116 (10 mM) had no significant effect on phrenic output or blood pressure. Application of carbachol (10 mM) at the rostral area augmented eucapnic phrenic output and the maximum value of the CO2 response but decreased the initial slope, effects blocked by atropine. Carbachol also decreased the response to carotid sinus nerve stimulation, suggesting that the system was saturated by carbachol stimulation. Muscarinic cholinergic receptors accessible to surface application at the rostral ventrolateral medulla antagonized by pirenzepine but not AF-DX 116 appear to be involved in the central chemoreceptor process.  相似文献

A wide variety of neuroactive substances have been suggested to be involved in the respiratory depression observed in response to severe hypoxia. By use of the technique of microdialysis, the release of dopamine (DA) was measured in the nucleus tractus solitarii during severe hypoxic provocations (6% O2 in N2) in the adult pentobarbital-anesthetized rabbit. DA release was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Such hypoxic provocations caused pronounced phase of depression in the phrenic nerve activity and enhanced release of DA. After bilateral carotid sinus nerve denervation, acute severe hypoxia did not give rise to enhanced release of DA or to phrenic nerve depression. Mild hypoxic (9% or 12% O2 in N2) or hypercapnic (6% CO2) stimuli resulted in an increased phrenic nerve activity without any concomitant changes in DA release. Decerebration at the midcollicular level in rabbits prevented an enhanced release of DA in the nucleus tractus solitarii during severe hypoxia. The results suggest that 1) DA is involved in the central ventilatory response to severe hypoxia, 2) not only the initial excitatory but also the second depressive phase in response to severe hypoxia is mediated partially by the peripheral chemoreceptors, and 3) the depressive phase is dependent on intact connections from suprapontine structures.  相似文献

Some age-related deficits in the ventilatory responses have been attributed to a decline in the functionality of the carotid body (CB) arterial chemoreceptors, but a systematic study of the CB function in ageing is lacking. In rats aged 3-24 months, we have performed quantitative morphometry on specific chemoreceptor tissue, assessed the function of chemoreceptor cells by measuring the content, synthesis and release of catecholamines (a chemoreceptor cell neurotransmitter) in normoxia and hypoxia, and determined the functional activity of the intact organ by measuring chemosensory activity in the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) in normoxia, hypoxia and hypercapnic acidosis. We found that with age CBs enlarge, but at the same time there is a concomitant decrease in the percentage of chemoreceptor tissue. CB content and turnover time for their catecholamines increase with age. Hypoxic stimulation of chemoreceptor cells elicits a smaller release of catecholamines in rats after 12 months of age, but a non-specific depolarizing stimulus elicits a comparable release at all ages. In parallel, there was a marked decrease in the responsiveness to hypoxia, but not to an acidic-hypercapnic stimulus, assessed as chemosensory activity in the CSN. We conclude that in aged mammals chemoreceptor cells become hypofunctional, leading to a decreased peripheral drive of ventilation.  相似文献

We have assessed the expression, molecular identification and functional role of Na+ channels (Na(v)) in carotid bodies (CB) obtained from normoxic and chronically hypoxic adult rats. Veratridine evoked release of catecholamines (CA) from an in vitro preparation of intact CBs obtained from normoxic animals, the response being Ca2+ and Na+-dependent and sensitive to tetrodotoxin (TTX). TTX inhibited by 25-50% the CA release response evoked by graded hypoxia. Immunoblot assays demonstrated the presence of Na(v)alpha-subunit (c. 220 kDa) in crude homogenates from rat CBs, being evident an up-regulation (60%) of this protein in the CBs obtained from chronically hypoxic rats (10% O2; 7 days). This up-regulation was accompanied by an enhanced TTX-sensitive release response to veratridine, and by an enhanced ventilatory response to acute hypoxic stimuli. RT-PCR studies demonstrated the expression of mRNA for Na(v)1.1, Na(v)1.2, Na(v)1.3, Na(v)1.6 and Na(v)1.7 isoforms. At least three isoforms, Na(v)1.1, Na(v)1.3 and Na(v)1.6 co-localized with tyrosine hydroxylase in all chemoreceptor cells. RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry indicated that Na(v)1.1 isoform was up-regulated by chronic hypoxia in chemoreceptor cells. We conclude that Na(v) up-regulation represents an adaptive mechanism to increase chemoreceptor sensitivity during acclimatization to sustained hypoxia as evidenced by enhanced ventilatory responses to acute hypoxic tests.  相似文献

Peripheral chemoreceptors in health and disease.   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
Peripheral chemoreceptors (carotid and aortic bodies) detect changes in arterial blood oxygen and initiate reflexes that are important for maintaining homeostasis during hypoxemia. This mini-review summarizes the importance of peripheral chemoreceptor reflexes in various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Carotid bodies are important for eliciting hypoxic ventilatory stimulation in humans and in experimental animals. In the absence of carotid bodies, compensatory upregulation of aortic bodies as well as other chemoreceptors contributes to the hypoxic ventilatory response. Peripheral chemoreceptors are critical for ventilatory acclimatization at high altitude. They also contribute in part to the exercise-induced hyperventilation, especially with submaximal and heavy exercise. During pregnancy, hypoxic ventilatory sensitivity increases, perhaps due to the actions of estrogen and progesterone on chemoreceptors. Augmented peripheral chemoreceptors have been implicated in early stages of recurrent apneas, congestive heart failure, and certain forms of hypertension. It is likely that chemoreceptors tend to maintain oxygen homeostasis and act as a defense mechanism to prevent the progression of the morbidity associated with these diseases. Experimental models of recurrent apneas, congestive heart failure, and hypertension offer excellent opportunities to unravel the cellular mechanisms associated with altered chemoreceptor function.  相似文献

Substance P (SP) is abundant in the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) and has been implicated in baro- and chemoreceptor reflexes. We examined the effect of SP on blood pressure, heart rate, phrenic nerve activity, hindlimb perfusion pressure, and cardiac contractile strength in urethane-anesthetized rabbits with bilaterally cut cervical sympathetic, vagus, and aortic depressor nerves. Retrograde simultaneous injection of SP (0.5-2.7 micrograms/kg in 0.2-0.3 ml saline) into both carotid sinus areas via the internal carotid arteries decreased blood pressure (by 56%), heart rate (by 13%), cardiac contractility (by 25%) and phrenic nerve activity (by 77%). The effect on hindlimb perfusion pressure was variable. There was both a reflex effect and direct hindlimb vasodilation. In another group of rabbits, the carotid sinus areas were vascularly isolated and perfused with SP (0.19 micrograms/min dissolved in Locke's solution) or Locke's solution alone for 5 min. While carotid sinus perfusion pressure was maintained in the range of 80-120 mmHg, mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and unit activity from the CSN were recorded. SP increased the activity of 11 of 18 baroreceptor fibers and inhibited all of 20 chemoreceptor fibers. SP decreased mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate, but the changes were less than those obtained with injection of SP into nonisolated carotid sinus arteries because systemic effects of SP, which in some cases counteracted the reflex effects, were eliminated.  相似文献

In anesthetized rats, increases in phrenic nerve amplitude and frequency during brief periods of hypoxia are followed by a reduction in phrenic nerve burst frequency [posthypoxia frequency decline (PHFD)]. We investigated the effects of chronic exposure to hypoxia on PHFD and on peripheral and central O2-sensing mechanisms. In Inactin-anesthetized (100 mg/kg) Sprague-Dawley rats, phrenic nerve discharge and arterial pressure responses to 10 s N2 inhalation were recorded after exposure to hypoxia (10 +/- 0.5% O2) for 6-14 days. Compared with rats maintained at normoxia, PHFD was abolished in chronic hypoxic rats. Because of inhibition of PHFD, the increased phrenic burst frequency and amplitude after N2 inhalation persisted for 1.8-2.8 times longer in chronic hypoxic (70 s) compared with normoxic (25-40 s) rats (P < 0.05). After acute bilateral carotid body denervation, N2 inhalation produced a short depression of phrenic nerve discharge in both chronic hypoxic and normoxic rats. However, the degree and duration of depression of phrenic nerve discharge was smaller in chronic hypoxic compared with normoxic rats (P < 0.05). We conclude that after exposure to chronic hypoxia, a reduction in PHFD contributes to an increased duration of the acute hypoxic ventilatory response in anesthetized rats. Furthermore, after exposure to chronic hypoxia, the central network responsible for respiration is more resistant to the depressant effects of acute hypoxia in anesthetized rats.  相似文献

The objective of the present study was to examine the impact of early stages of lung injury on ventilatory control by hypoxia and hypercapnia. Lung injury was induced with intratracheal instillation of bleomycin (BM; 1 unit) in adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats. Control animals underwent sham surgery with saline instillation. Five days after the injections, lung injury was present in BM-treated animals as evidenced by increased neutrophils and protein levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, as well as by changes in lung histology and computed tomography images. There was no evidence of pulmonary fibrosis, as indicated by lung collagen content. Basal core body temperature, arterial Po(2), and arterial Pco(2) were comparable between both groups of animals. Ventilatory responses to hypoxia (12% O(2)) and hypercapnia (7% CO(2)) were measured by whole body plethysmography in unanesthetized animals. Baseline respiratory rate and the hypoxic ventilatory response were significantly higher in BM-injected compared with control animals (P = 0.003), whereas hypercapnic ventilatory response was not statistically different. In anesthetized, spontaneously breathing animals, response to brief hyperoxia (Dejours' test, an index of peripheral chemoreceptor sensitivity) and neural hypoxic ventilatory response were augmented in BM-exposed relative to control animals, as measured by diaphragmatic electromyelograms. The enhanced hypoxic sensitivity persisted following bilateral vagotomy, but was abolished by bilateral carotid sinus nerve transection. These data demonstrate that afferent sensory input from the carotid body contributes to a selective enhancement of hypoxic ventilatory drive in early lung injury in the absence of pulmonary fibrosis and arterial hypoxemia.  相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that ventilatory responses to chemoreceptor stimulation are affected by the level of arterial pressure and degree of baroreceptor activation. Carotid chemoreceptors were stimulated by injection of nicotine into the common carotid artery of anesthetized dogs. Arterial pressure was reduced by bleeding the animals and raised by transient occlusion of the abdominal aorta. The results indicate that ventilatory responses to chemoreceptor stimulation were augmented by hypotension and depressed by hypertension. In additional studies we excluded the possibility that the findings were produced by a direct effect of changes in arterial pressure on chemoreceptors. Both carotid bifurcations were perfused at constant flow. In one carotid bifurcation, perfusion pressure was raised to stimulate carotid sinus baroreceptors. In the other carotid bifurcation, pressure was constant and nicotine was injected to stimulate carotid chemoreceptors. Stimulation of baroreceptors on one side attenuated the ventilatory response to stimulation of contralateral chemoreceptors. This inhibition was observed before and after bilateral cervical vagotomy. We conclude that there is a major central interaction between baroreceptor and chemoreceptor reflexes so that changes in baroreceptor activity modulate ventilatory responses to chemoreceptor stimulation.  相似文献
