The present study investigates the integrity of the blood-brain barrier to H+ or HCO3- during acute plasma acidosis in 35 newborn piglets anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. Cerebrospinal fluid acid-base balance, cerebral blood flow (CBF), and cerebral oxygenation were measured after infusion of HCl (0.6 N, 0.191-0.388 ml/min) for a period of 1 h at a constant arterial PCO2 of 35-40 Torr. HCl infusion resulted in decreased arterial pH from 7.38 +/- 0.01 to 7.00 +/- 0.02 (P less than 0.01). CBF measured by the tracer microsphere technique was decreased by 12% from 69 +/- 6 to 61 +/- 4 ml.min-1.100 g-1 (P less than 0.05). Infusion of 0.6 N NaCl as a hypertonic control had no effect on CBF. Cerebral metabolic rate for O2 and O2 extraction was not significantly changed from control (3.83 +/- 0.20 ml.min-1.100 g-1 and 5.7 +/- 0.6 ml/100 ml, respectively) during acid infusion. Cerebral venous PO2 was increased from 41.6 +/- 2.1 to 53.8 +/- 4.0 Torr by HCl infusion (P less than 0.02) associated with a shift in O2-hemoglobin affinity of blood in vivo from 38 +/- 2 to 50 +/- 1 Torr. Cisternal cerebrospinal fluid pH decreased from 7.336 +/- 0.014 to 7.226 +/- 0.027 (P less than 0.005), but cerebrospinal fluid HCO3- concentration was not changed from control (25.4 +/- 1.0 meq/l). These data suggest that there is a functional blood-brain barrier in newborn piglets, that is relatively impermeable to HCO3- or H+ and maintains cerebral perivascular pH constant in the face of acute severe arterial acidosis.

We hypothesized that, during isosmotic isonatremic HCl acidosis with maintained isocapnia in cisternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), acetazolamide, by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase (CA) in the central nervous system (CNS), should produce an isonatric hyperchloric metabolic acidosis in CSF. Blood and CSF ions and acid-base variables were measured in two groups of anesthetized and paralyzed dogs with bilateral ligation of renal pedicles during 5 h of HCl acidosis (plasma [HCO3-] = 11 meq/l). Mechanical ventilation was regulated such that arterial PCO2 dropped and CSF Pco2 remained relatively constant. In group I (control group, n = 6), CSF [Na+] remained unchanged, [HCO3-] and strong ions difference (SID) fell, respectively, 6.1 and 5 meq/l, and [Cl-] rose 3.5 meq/l after 5 h of acidosis. In acetazolamide-treated animals, (group II, n = 7), CSF [Na+] remained unchanged, [HCO3-], and SID fell 11 and 7.1 meq/l, respectively, and [Cl-] rose 7.1 meq/l. We conclude that during HCl acidosis inhibition of CNS CA by acetazolamide induces an isonatric hyperchloric metabolic acidosis in CSF, which is more severe than that observed in controls. 相似文献

The mechanism(s) for the hyperphosphatemia associated with lactic acidosis is unknown. Experimental lactate-induced hyperphosphatemia appears to require acidemia because we have shown that prevention of acidemia with NaHCO3 obviates increases in plasma phosphorus concentration ([P]). Since the rate of lactate metabolism (by utilizing NAD or other mechanisms) might modulate transcellular movement of phosphorus, we assessed the plasma [P] response to 3-h infusions of DL-lactic acid versus L-lactic acid. The dog metabolizes primarily the L-moiety of DL-lactic acid (thereby consuming H+), so more L-lactic acid is needed to produce the degree of acidemia attained with DL-lactic acid. Group 1 (n = 6) mongrel dogs received 12 mequiv./kg DL-lactic acid; group 2 (n = 6) 12 mequiv./kg L-lactic acid, and group 3 (n = 7) 16-19 mequiv./kg L-lactic acid. Prior to acid loading, the plasma [P] and acid-base status of the three groups were similar. After 3 h, blood pH and [HCO3] and change from base line in plasma [P], in both milligrams per decilitre and percent, were as follows: group 1: 7.05 +/- 0.02, 9 +/- 2 mM, 1.9 +/- 0.4 mg/dL, 38 +/- 10%; group 2: 7.28 +/- 0.02, 18 +/- 1, 0.9 +/- 0.3, 17 +/- 6; group 3: 7.06 +/- 0.04, 12 +/- 1, 1.1 +/- 0.3, 26 +/- 10, respectively. Thus, there was a tendency for both infusion rates of L-lactic acid to increase [P] less than DL-lactic acid, suggesting the importance of other factors in addition to pH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effects of metabolic acidosis on renal haemodynamics and intrarenal blood flow distribution was studied in two groups of chronically-catheterized fetal sheep between 122 and 130 days of gestation. One group (experimental group) was studied before and during infusion of 1.1 M lactic acid, whereas the second group received on infusion of dextrose 5% (w/v) in water and served as a time-control group. Infusion of lactic acid for 2 h decreased fetal arterial pH from 7.37 +/- 0.01 to 6.95 +/- 0.02, did not change arterial blood pressure, but produced a significant decrease in renal blood flow (41 +/- 3 to 33 +/- 7 ml/min, P less than 0.05) and a significant increase in renal vascular resistance (1.42 +/- 0.13 to 1.86 +/- 0.18 mmHg/ml/min, P less than 0.05). Moreover, a significant decline in cortical blood flow was also observed in the outer portion of the renal cortex during lactic acidosis. Taken together, these results suggest that metabolic acidosis produces significant changes in fetal renal haemodynamics not associated with changes in arterial blood pressure. 相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that central mechanisms regulating luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion are responsive to insulin. Our approach was to infuse insulin into the lateral ventricle of six streptozotocin-induced diabetic sheep in an amount that is normally present in the CSF when LH secretion is maintained by peripheral insulin administration. In the first experiment, we monitored cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) insulin concentrations every 3-5 h in four diabetic sheep given insulin by peripheral injection (30 IU). The insulin concentration in the CSF was increased after insulin injection, and there was a positive relationship between CSF and plasma concentrations of insulin (r = 0.80, P < 0.01). In the second experiment, peripheral insulin administration was discontinued, and the sheep received either an intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion of insulin (12 mU/day in 2.4 ml saline) or saline (2.4 ml/day) for 5 days (n = 6) in a crossover design. The dose of insulin (i.c.v.) was calculated to approximate the increase in CSF insulin concentration found after peripheral insulin treatment. To monitor LH secretory patterns, blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture at 10-min intervals for 4 h on the day before and 5 days after the start of i.c.v. insulin infusion. To monitor the increase in CSF insulin concentrations, a single CSF sample was collected one and four days after the start of the central infusion. The i.c.v. insulin infusion increased CSF insulin concentrations above those in saline-treated animals (P < 0.05) and maintained them at or above the peak levels achieved after peripheral insulin treatment. Central insulin infusion did not affect peripheral (plasma) insulin or glucose concentrations. LH pulse frequency in insulin-treated animals was greater than that in saline-treated animals (3.5 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.3 +/- 0.3 pulses/4 h, P < 0.01), but it was less than that during peripheral insulin treatment (4.8 +/- 0.2 pulses/4 h, P < 0.01). Our findings suggest that physiologic levels of central insulin supplementation are able to increase pulsatile LH secretion in diabetic sheep with low peripheral insulin. These results are consistent with the notion that central insulin plays a role in regulating pulsatile GnRH secretion. 相似文献

The effects of sodium bicarbonate and a bicarbonate-carbonate mixture on expired CO2 and the volume of distribution of bicarbonate were studied in eight anesthetized, paralyzed, and ventilated dogs made acidotic with HCl (5 mmol/kg) infused over 90 min. Both sodium bicarbonate and Carbicarb resulted in systemic alkalinization and comparable increases in the serum bicarbonate at 50 min (7.07 +/- 0.91 vs. 7.99 +/- 0.77, respectively; P = NS). Sodium bicarbonate infusion resulted in an increase in CO2 excretion that accounted for a fractional CO2 excretion of 0.20 +/- 0.09, whereas infusion of a bicarbonate-carbonate mixture resulted in a fractional CO2 excretion of -0.06 +/- 0.09 (P less than 0.01). The uncorrected volume of distribution of bicarbonate after sodium bicarbonate infusion was higher than that seen with the bicarbonate-carbonate mixture (0.60 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.34 +/- 0.03 l/kg; P less than 0.01). However, when the volume of bicarbonate distribution was corrected for expired CO2, there was no difference between treatment with sodium bicarbonate and the bicarbonate-carbonate mixture (0.44 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.38 +/- 0.04 l/kg; P = NS). These data demonstrate that, in this animal model of acidosis, sodium bicarbonate treatment of systemic acidosis is accompanied by a generation of a considerable amount of CO2, whereas treatment with a bicarbonate-carbonate mixture is not. This suggests that in states of impaired ventilation, a bicarbonate-carbonate mixture may offer more efficient systemic alkalinization and may be associated with less CO2 generation than sodium bicarbonate. 相似文献

Previous reports indicate that intravenous infusion of HCl can alter breathing and blood pressure even if reductions in systemic arterial pH are prevented. To extend these findings, as well as to determine whether other acids elicit comparable results, this report compares the cardiopulmonary response between right atrial infusion of lactic acid and HCl in awake ponies. Lactic acid, infused at a dose of 1.5 mmol/kg over 18 min, lowered systemic and pulmonary arterial pH 0.062 and 0.092 U, respectively, and increased pulmonary arterial pressure (delta Ppa, 4 mmHg), heart rate (HR, 4/min), and tidal volume (delta VT, 190 ml/m2). HCl, infused at a reduced dose of 0.5 mmol/kg over 18 min, lowered systemic and pulmonary arterial pH 0.024 and 0.047 U, respectively, but produced increases in Ppa (delta 23 mmHg), HR (delta 42/min), and VT (delta 321 ml/m2) that were significantly greater than from the larger dose of lactic acid. These results indicate that cardiopulmonary responses to infusion acidosis differ between the type of acid infused. It is suggested that, in the unanesthetized pony, HCl-induced infusion acidosis has a unique cardiopulmonary-stimulating action unrelated to the pH changes imparted to the circulating arterial blood and that this response is absent during the infusion of lactic acid. 相似文献

Systemic plasma concentrations of arginine vasopressin (AVP) were studied in three groups of 10-15 day-old conscious newborn calves. Animals in the first group (control group) and in the second group (systemic-hypertonic-injected group) received respectively isotonic and hypertonic (8 mmol NaCl/kg body weight) saline injection into the right jugular vein. Animals in the third group were fitted with chronic mesenteric and hepatic-portal catheters and received a 1 h-hypertonic saline infusion (2 mmol NaCl/kg body weight) into the main mesenteric vein. In animals in the second group there were parallel increases in systemic plasma concentration of Na+ (from 148.0 +/- 2.6 to 177 +/- 8 mmol/l; P less than 0.01), osmolality (from 289 +/- 2 to 319 +/- 4 mOsmol/kg H2O; P less than 0.01) and systemic plasma concentrations of AVP (from 4.2 +/- 0.4 to 11.1 +/- 0.6 pmol/l; P less than 0.01) 10 min after the injection. There were no significant changes in control animals. Hypertonic saline infusion into the main mesenteric vein in the third group induced an increase in concentration of Na+ (from 147.3 +/- 2.0 to 165.0 +/- 5.0 mmol/l; P less than 0.01) and osmolality (from 288 +/- 5 to 315 +/- 10 mOsmol/kg H2O; P less than 0.01) in hepatic-portal vein plasma but did not alter systemic plasma osmolality or concentrations of Na+ and AVP. This study demonstrates that the relationship between plasma concentrations of AVP and systemic osmolality is operative in the newborn calf but does not support the hypothesis that hepatic portal osmo-receptors sensitive to hyperosmolality influence AVP release. 相似文献

Plasmodium berghei: lactic acidosis and hypoglycaemia in a rodent model of severe malaria; effects of glucose, quinine, and dichloroacetate 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fulminant malaria infections are characterised by hypoglycaemia and potentially lethal lactic acidosis. In young adult Wistar rats (n = 26) infected with Plasmodium berghei (ANKA strain), hyperparasitaemia (greater than 50%), anaemia (PCV 19.6 +/- 5.3%; mean +/- SD) hypoglycaemia (1.04 +/- 0.74 mmol/litre), hyperlactataemia (13.2 +/- 2.20 mmol/litre), hyperpyruvicaemia (0.51 +/- 0.12 mmol/litre) and metabolic acidosis (arterial pH 6.96 +/- 0.11) developed after approximately 14 days of infection. Hypoglycaemia was associated with appropriate suppression of plasma insulin concentrations. In a second series of experiments the metabolic effects of treatment with glucose (500 mg/kg/hr), quinine (5 mg/kg bolus followed by 10 mg/kg over 1 hr) and a potent activator of pyruvate dehydrogenase, dichloroacetate (300 mg/kg) were studied over a 1-hr period. In control animals quinine had no measurable effects, but dichloroacetate significantly reduced arterial blood lactate (74%) and pyruvate (80%). In infected animals, glucose infusion attenuated the rise in lactate (38% compared with 82%; P less than 0.01) but quinine had no additional metabolic effects. Dichloroacetate further attenuated the rise in lactate (14%; P less than 0.01). 相似文献

Digestion is associated with gastric secretion that leads to an alkalinisation of the blood, termed the "alkaline tide". Numerous studies on different reptiles and amphibians show that while plasma bicarbonate concentration ([HCO(3)(-)](pl)) increases substantially during digestion, arterial pH (pHa) remains virtually unchanged, due to a concurrent rise in arterial PCO(2) (PaCO(2)) caused by a relative hypoventilation. This has led to the suggestion that postprandial amphibians and reptiles regulate pHa rather than PaCO(2). Here we characterize blood gases in the South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus) during digestion and following systemic infusions of NaHCO(3) and HCl in fasting animals to induce a metabolic alkalosis or acidosis in fasting animals. The magnitude of these acid-base disturbances were similar in magnitude to that mediated by digestion and exercise. Plasma [HCO(3)(-)] increased from 18.4+/-1.5 to 23.7+/-1.0 mmol L(-1) during digestion and was accompanied by a respiratory compensation where PaCO(2) increased from 13.0+/-0.7 to 19.1+/-1.4 mm Hg at 24 h. As a result, pHa decreased slightly, but were significantly below fasting levels 36 h into digestion. Infusion of NaHCO(3) (7 mmol kg(-1)) resulted in a 10 mmol L(-1) increase in plasma [HCO(3)(-)] within 1 h and was accompanied by a rapid elevation of pHa (from 7.58+/-0.01 to 7.78+/-0.02). PaCO(2), however, did not change following HCO(3)(-) infusion, which indicates a lack of respiratory compensation. Following infusion of HCl (4 mmol kg(-1)), plasma pHa decreased by 0.07 units and [HCO(3)(-)](pl) was reduced by 4.6 mmol L(-1) within the first 3 h. PaCO(2), however, was not affected and there was no evidence for respiratory compensation. Our data show that digesting rattlesnakes exhibit respiratory compensations to the alkaline tide, whereas artificially induced metabolic acid-base disturbances of same magnitude remain uncompensated. It seems difficult to envision that the central and peripheral chemoreceptors would experience different stimuli during these conditions. One explanation for the different ventilatory responses could be that digestion induces a more relaxed state with low responsiveness to ventilatory stimuli. 相似文献

Several investigators have observed that repeated acid infusions induce stronger symptoms (symptom hypersensitivity). The goal of our study was to determine whether symptom hypersensitivity is associated with esophageal contractile hypersensitivity. Subjects with chronic heartburn symptoms underwent simultaneous pressure and ultrasound imaging of esophagus. Normal saline and 0.1 N HCl were sequentially infused into the esophagus, and subjects scored heartburn symptoms on a 1-10 scale. Saline and HCl infusions were repeated in 10 subjects with a positive Bernstein test. Esophageal contraction amplitude and duration and muscularis propria thickness were measured using a computerized method during recording. Acid infusion induced heartburn. Esophageal contractions had higher amplitudes (pressure 114.2 +/- 7.0%) and longer duration (116.8 +/- 4.4%) during acid infusion compared with saline infusion. Average muscle thickness was greater during acid infusion than saline infusion (107.0 +/- 2.0%). Sustained esophageal contractions (SECs) were identified during acid infusion. A second acid infusion (acid-2) induced heartburn with shorter latency (93.0 +/- 15.0 vs. 317.0 +/- 43.0 s) and stronger severity (8.5 +/- 0.5 vs. 5.3 +/- 0.8) than the first acid infusion (acid-1). Contraction amplitudes (140.2 +/- 13.0%), average muscle thickness (118.0 +/- 3.3%), and contraction duration (148.5 +/- 5.6 vs. 116.8 +/- 4.4%) were higher during acid-2 than acid-1. Also, numbers of SECs were greater during acid-2 than acid-1 (31 in 8 subjects vs. 11 in 6 subjects). Our data show that acid infusion into esophagus induces esophageal hypersensitivity and that a close temporal correlation exists between symptom hypersensitivity and contractility hypersensitivity. 相似文献

Intravenous infusion of Hacetate in conscious rabbits induces a greater decrease in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [HCO3-] and arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) than does HCl, HNO3, or Hacetate. To test whether acetate per se can stimulate central chemoreceptors, HCl- or Hacetate-acidified mock CSF was infused via the cisterna magna in conscious rabbits with catheters preimplanted under anesthesia. HCl infusion induced a greater decrease in PaCO2 refuting this hypothesis. To evaluate the role of the carotid body HCl and Hacetate were infused intravenously in an intact (CB+) and a chemodenervated group (CB-). In CB+ rabbits Hacetate infusion produced a greater decrease in PaCO2. In CB- rabbits, the fractional decrease in arterial PaCO2 was less for both acids compared with that of the CB+ rabbits, but it was significantly greater for Hacetate infusion (21.2 +/- 2.5%, mean +/- SE) than for HCl infusion (14.5 +/- 1.8%). Thus the carotid body is not necessary for the greater Hacetate ventilatory stimulation. The working hypothesis is that nonionic diffusion of Hacetate into brain or acetate replacement of HCO3- in CSF production lowers [HCO3-] near central chemoreceptors. 相似文献

The effect of induced metabolic acidosis (48 h of NH4Cl ingestion, BE - 10.6 +/- 1.1) and alkalosis (43 h of NaHCO3- ingestion BE 8.8 +/- 1.6) on arterial and lumber CSF pH, Pco2, and HCO3- and ventilatory responses to CO2 and to hypoxia was assessed in five healthy men. In acidosis lumbar CSF pH rose 0.033 +/- 0.02 (P less than 0.05). In alkalosis CSF pH was unchanged. Ventilatory response lines to CO2 at high O2 were displaced to the left in acidosis (9.0 +/- 1.4 Torr) and to the right in alkalosis (4.5 +/- 1.5 Torr) with no change in slope. The ventilatory response to hypoxia (delta V40) was increased in acidosis (P less than 0.05) and it was decreased in four subjects in alkalosis (P, not significant). We conclude that the altered ventilatory drives of steady-state metabolic imbalance are mediated by peripheral chemoreceptors, and in acidosis the medullary respiratory chemoreceptor drive is decreased. 相似文献

In Wistar rats, increasing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Na+ concentration ([Na+]) by intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of hypertonic saline causes sympathetic hyperactivity and hypertension that can be prevented by blockade of brain mineralocorticoid receptors (MR). To assess the role of aldosterone produced locally in the brain in the activation of MR in the central nervous system (CNS), Wistar rats were infused ICV with artificial CSF (aCSF), Na+ -rich (800 mmol/l) aCSF, aCSF plus the aldosterone synthase inhibitor FAD286 (100 microg x kg(-1) x day(-1)), or Na+ -rich aCSF plus FAD286. After 2 wk of infusion, rats treated with Na+ -rich aCSF exhibited significant increases in aldosterone and corticosterone content in the hypothalamus but not in the hippocampus, as well as increases in resting blood pressure (BP) and sympathoexcitatory responses to air stress, and impairment of arterial baroreflex function. Concomitant ICV infusion of FAD286 prevented the Na+ -induced increase in hypothalamic aldosterone but not corticosterone and prevented most of the increases in resting BP and sympathoexcitatory and pressor responses to air stress and the baroreflex impairment. FAD286 had no effects in rats infused with ICV aCSF. In another set of rats, 24-h BP and heart rate were recorded via telemetry before and during a 14-day ICV infusion of Na+ -rich aCSF with or without FAD286. Na+ -rich aCSF without FAD286 caused sustained increases ( approximately 10 mmHg) in resting mean arterial pressure that were absent in the rats treated with FAD286. These data suggest that in Wistar rats, an increase in CSF [Na+] may increase the biosynthesis of corticosterone and aldosterone in the hypothalamus, and mainly aldosterone activates MR in the CNS leading to sympathetic hyperactivity and hypertension. 相似文献

In complicated pregnancy, fetal hypoxemia rarely occurs in isolation but is often accompanied by fetal acidemia. There is growing clinical concern about the combined effects of fetal hypoxemia and fetal acidemia on neonatal outcome. However, the effects on the fetal defense responses to acute hypoxemia during fetal acidemia are not well understood. This study tested the hypothesis that fetal acidemia affects the fetal defense responses to acute hypoxemia. The hypothesis was tested by investigating, in the late-gestation sheep fetus surgically prepared for long-term recording, the in vivo effects of acute fetal acidemia on 1) the fetal cardiovascular responses to acute hypoxemia and 2) the neural and endocrine mechanisms mediating these responses. Under general anesthesia, five sheep fetuses at 0.8 gestation were instrumented with catheters and Transonic flow probes around the femoral and umbilical arteries. After 5 days, animals were subjected to an acute hypoxemia protocol during intravenous infusion of saline or treatment with acidified saline. Treatment with acidified saline reduced fetal basal pH from 7.35 +/- 0.01 to 7.29 +/- 0.01 but did not alter basal cardiovascular variables, blood glucose, or plasma concentrations of catecholamines, ACTH, and cortisol. During hypoxemia, treatment with acidified saline increased the magnitude of the fetal bradycardia and femoral vasoconstriction and concomitantly increased chemoreflex function and enhanced the increments in plasma concentrations of catecholamines, ACTH, and cortisol. Acidemia also reversed the increase in umbilical vascular conductance during hypoxemia to vasoconstriction. In conclusion, the data support our hypothesis and show that acute acidemia markedly alters fetal hemodynamic, metabolic, and endocrine responses to acute hypoxemia. 相似文献

Maternal water restriction and the accompanying dehydration-induced anorexia may induce long-term physiological changes in offspring. We determined the impact of prenatal hypertonicity (Pre-Dehy) on offspring cardiovascular and osmoregulatory function. Pre-Dehy lambs were exposed to in utero hypernatremia (8- to 10-meq increase; 110-150 days of gestation) induced by maternal water restriction. Control lambs were born to ewes provided ad libitum water and food throughout gestation. After delivery, all ewes were provided ad libitum water and all newborns were allowed ad libitum nursing. Lambs were prepared with vascular and bladder catheters at 15 +/- 2 days of age and studied at 21 +/- 2 days. After a 2-h basal period, lambs received an infusion of hypotonic (0.075 M) NaCl (0.15 ml.kg(-1).h(-1) iv) for 2 h. Lamb arterial blood pressure was monitored, and blood samples were obtained before, during, and after infusion. During the neonatal basal period, Pre-Dehy lambs had significantly increased plasma osmolality (302 +/- 1 vs. 294 +/- 1 mosmol/kgH(2)O, P < 0.01), sodium levels (144 +/- 1 vs. 140 +/- 1 meq/l, P < 0.01), hematocrit (28 +/- 1% vs. 25 +/- 1%, P < 0.05), and mean arterial blood pressure (79 +/- 2 vs. 68 +/- 1 mmHg, P < 0.001) compared with control lambs. Despite the infusion of hypotonic saline, Pre-Dehy lambs maintained relative hypertonicity, hypernatremia, and hypertension. However, plasma arginine vasopressin, glomerular filtration rate, and urinary osmolar and sodium excretion and clearance (per kg body wt) were similar in the groups. Offspring of prenatally water-restricted ewes exhibit hypernatremia, hypertonicity, and hypertension, which persist despite hypotonic saline infusion. In utero hypertonicity and perhaps maternal nutrient stress may program offspring osmoregulation and systemic arterial hypertension. 相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated that a single 30-min distal esophageal infusion of concentrated (0.15 M, pH 0.8) hydrochloric acid (HCl) induces hyperalgesia to an electrical stimulus in a human model. The aim of this study was to refine this model using physiological acid concentrations (pH 1.8-4) in repeated short exposures. Two different cohorts of 10 volunteers underwent two studies. Study 1: randomization to four 5-min distal esophageal infusions of acid (0.15 M) or saline, 1 h apart. Double-blind measurements of baseline and postexposure proximal esophageal and chest wall pain thresholds (PTs) were performed to electrical stimulation at 30-min intervals throughout the study. Study 2: randomization to four 15-min infusions of 0.15, 0.075, and 0.01 M HCl and saline. In study 1, with multiple acid infusions, a significant progressive drop in PTs was observed in both areas tested (P < or = 0.0001). In study 2, increasing acid concentrations had a significant effect over multiple time points, P < or = 0.0001. Similar initial reductions in PTs were observed for all acid concentrations compared with saline; however, hypersensitivity was shorter lasting with 0.01 M acid. In healthy subjects, esophageal hypersensitivity can be induced and maintained up to 4 h by repeated short-duration acid infusion and at physiological pH levels. This has implications for future model design and pathophysiological understanding of acid-related esophageal hypersensitivity. 相似文献

N tau-methylimidazole acetic acid (N tau-MIAA) is the principal urinary metabolite of histamine. The basal urinary excretion rate of N tau-MIAA was determined as 0.117 +/- 0.008 (SE) mg/h, with a renal clearance for N tau-MIAA of 273 +/- 27 ml/min implying active secretion. After subpharmacological infusion of histamine (50 ng.kg-1.min-1 over 2 h) in five volunteers that increased plasma histamine from 0.28 +/- 0.04 to 0.71 +/- 0.15 ng/ml, urinary excretion of N tau-MIAA over 8 h was increased by less than 17% compared with a control saline infusion. Urinary N tau-MIAA excretion in normal controls (273 +/- 14 micrograms/mmol creatinine) was similar to that observed in patients with severe acute asthma (253 +/- 22 micrograms/mmol), antigen-induced bronchoconstriction (269 +/- 21 micrograms/mmol), seasonal allergic rhinitis (304 +/- 31 micrograms/mmol), and clinically stable bronchiectasis (270 +/- 22 micrograms/mmol). In contrast, large increases in metabolite excretion (greater than 7,000 micrograms/mmol creatinine) were observed in a patient with systemic mastocytosis where very high plasma histamine levels were recorded (greater than 500 ng/ml) and marked systemic hemodynamic effects occurred. We conclude that urinary N tau-MIAA will only be increased in pathologies where sustained hyperhistaminemia occurs and that increased local histamine production in the lung or the upper airway does not cause a measurable change in the basal urinary excretion of this metabolite. 相似文献

To investigate the effect of elevated plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations on splanchnic glucose uptake (SGU), we measured SGU in nine healthy subjects (age, 44 +/- 4 yr; body mass index, 27.4 +/- 1.2 kg/m(2); fasting plasma glucose, 5.2 +/- 0.1 mmol/l) during an Intralipid-heparin (LIP) infusion and during a saline (Sal) infusion. SGU was estimated by the oral glucose load (OGL)-insulin clamp method: subjects received a 7-h euglycemic insulin (100 mU x m(-2) x min(-1)) clamp, and a 75-g OGL was ingested 3 h after the insulin clamp was started. After glucose ingestion, the steady-state glucose infusion rate (GIR) during the insulin clamp was decreased to maintain euglycemia. SGU was calculated by subtracting the integrated decrease in GIR during the period after glucose ingestion from the ingested glucose load. [3-(3)H]glucose was infused during the initial 3 h of the insulin clamp to determine rates of endogenous glucose production (EGP) and glucose disappearance (R(d)). During the 3-h euglycemic insulin clamp before glucose ingestion, R(d) was decreased (8.8 +/- 0.5 vs. 7.6 +/- 0.5 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.01), and suppression of EGP was impaired (0.2 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.07 +/- 0.03 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.01). During the 4-h period after glucose ingestion, SGU was significantly increased during the LIP vs. Sal infusion study (30 +/- 2 vs. 20 +/- 2%, P < 0.005). In conclusion, an elevation in plasma FFA concentration impairs whole body glucose R(d) and insulin-mediated suppression of EGP in healthy subjects but augments SGU. 相似文献

Although the occurrence of organic osmolytes in the inner medulla of the marsupial kidney has been recently reported [Comp. Biochem. Physiol. (2002) 132B 635-644], changes in these substances, in response to water loading in vivo, has not been studied. Adult Trichosurus vulpecula, the Australian brush-tailed possum, were subjected to water deprivation for 48 h. Following anaesthesia and unilateral nephrectomy, the animals were perfused with hypo-osmotic saline (80 mmol l(-1); 1.5 ml min(-1)) for 60 min. This resulted in a rapid increase in urine volume and a corresponding fall in urine osmolality. At the end of the infusion the animals were killed and the second kidney removed. Analysis of the renal tissue revealed that water content of cortical, outer and inner medullary regions of the kidney increased slightly following infusion, while sodium, and chloride contents of all three regions fell. Potassium contents, on the other hand, were barely changed. Of the organic osmolytes determined, very significant decreases in the inner medulla, following infusion, were found for sorbitol (from 397+/-79 to 266+/-49 mmol kg(-1) protein), inositol (247+/-23 to 190+/-25 mmol kg(-1) protein), and betaine (464+/-70 to 356+/-21 mmol kg(-1) protein), while only inositol was significantly decreased in the outer medulla (197+/-22 to 150+/-16 mmol kg(-1) protein). Glycerophosphorylcholine levels were low throughout the kidney and were not significantly affected by the infusion. It was concluded that inositol and sorbitol play a significant role as compatible organic osmolytes in the possum kidney, while betaine functions as the principal counteracting osmolyte. Amino acid levels in the cortex and outer medulla showed no overall change in amount following infusion, although there were highly significant changes in individual amino acids. In the inner medulla there was a highly significant reduction in total amino acids with infusion, largely due to a fall in amounts of taurine (104+/-4 to 75+/-17 mmol kg(-1) protein), and glycine (97+/-15 to 71+/-18 mmol kg(-1) protein). A fall in free amino acid levels in the inner medulla appears to significantly contribute to the process of intracellular osmotic adjustment during an induced diuresis. 相似文献
