Hypertension is one of the leading causes of health morbidity and mortality which are linked to many life threatening diseases such as stroke heart problems and renal dysfunction.The integrity of renal microcirculation is crucial to maintaining the clearance and the excretory function in the normotensive and hypertensive conditions. Furthermore, any alteration in the renal function is involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension.The aim of this review is to provide a brief discussion of some factors that regulate renal haemodynamics in spontaneously hypertensive rats, an animal model of hypertension, and how these factors are linked to the disease.  相似文献

Intravenous naloxone or naltrexone produced transient, dose-related reductions in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of urethane-anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Yet these same doses of narcotic antagonists reduced HR but not MAP of normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKYs). Such effects were not observed upon administration to SHRs of increasing doses of methylnaltrexone, which possesses no central activity. (+)-Naloxone, which does not block opiate receptors, reduced HR but not MAP of both SHRs and WKYs. These findings indicate that SHRs and WKYs differ in their MAP and HR responses to narcotic antagonists. The high doses required for effect plus the brevity of the responses suggest that these drug effects are perhaps not mu-opiate receptor-mediated; however, the methylnaltrexone and (+)-naloxone findings clearly implicate a central specificity of action. We conclude that narcotic antagonist-induced changes in MAP and HR in SHRs are possibly specific and central in origin yet not mediated by mu-opiate receptors.  相似文献

The density (Bmax) of muscimol and clonazepam binding to hypothalamic membranes from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was reduced compared to age-matched Wistar Kyoto (WKY) animals in the period 80 – 120 days. There were no significant differences in dissociation constant (Kd) for either ligand at this time. At 30 – 36 days, prior to development of pronounced hypertension, there were no differences in Kd or Bmax for either ligand in SHR and WKY animals. There were also deficits in endogenous hypothalamic GABA concentrations in SHR at 75 and 120 days as compared to WKY. The hypothesis is advanced, that there may be a dysfunction of a hypothalamic GABA system in the SHR rat as hypertension develops.  相似文献

After one week in isolation spontaneously hypertensive male rats killed mice more frequently than did normal Wistar Controls, 70 vs 20%. Hypertensive killers had a somewhat lower blood pressure than did hypertensive non-killers. Retest after one hour demonstrated slower recognition time, decreased killing and increased kill time for normotensive killer rats. Mouse killing increased among hypertensive rats, and they became more proficient as evidenced by decreased kill time.  相似文献

Mapping genes controlling hematocrit in the spontaneously hypertensive rat   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
The genes that determine the baseline hematocrit level in humans and experimental animals are unknown. The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), the most widely used animal model of human essential hypertension, exhibits an increased hematocrit when compared with the normotensive Brown Norway (BN-Lx) strain (0.54 ± 0.02 vs. 0.44 ± 0.02, p < 0.01). Distribution of hematocrit values among recombinant inbred (RI) strains derived from SHR and BN-Lx progenitors was continuous, which suggests a polygenic mode of inheritance. The narrow heritability of the hematocrit was estimated to be 0.32. The Eno2 marker on Chromosome (Chr) 4 showed the strongest association (p < 0.0001) with the observed variability of hematocrit among RI strains. The erythropoietin (Epo) gene, originally reported to be syntenic with Eno2, has been mapped to Chr 12, thus excluding it as a potential candidate gene for the increased hematocrit in the SHR. The current linkage data extend homologies between rat, mouse, and human chromosomes. Received: 11 December 1996 / Accepted: 17 February 1997  相似文献

Intestinal calcium transport rate and response to treatment with a vitamin D agonist [24,24-difluoro-1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, F2-1,25-(OH)2D3)] were studied in the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat-Wistar Kyoto (WKy) rat model of hypertension. We used the everted duodenal sac to study untreated, orally treated, and parenterally treated groups of SH and WKy rats. In untreated groups, net calcium transport was lower (P less than 0.05) in the SH rat than in the WKy rat (0.46-0.66 vs 0.81-1.04, all data mumole/g segment wet wt per hr). Both groups responded to treatment (SH vs WKy; 0.84-0.90 vs 1.56-1.57, P less than 0.05), but even in treated groups net calcium transport by the SH rat was lower than that by the WKy rat (P less than 0.05). Net water transport increased 3- to 8-fold in response to treatment in the WKy but not in the SH rat. The increased water transport prevented demonstration of treatment-mediated increased calcium transport based on serosal/mucosal concentration ratio in the WKy rat. We conclude that (i) both the SH and the WKy rat have the capability to increase calcium transport when treated with an agonist having vitamin D activity; (ii) the unstimulated and stimulated transport rate is lower in the SH rat than in the WKy rat; and (iii) water transport responds to treatment in the WKy rat but not in the SH rat.  相似文献

The spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone (SHRSP) rat is a commonly used model of cerebrovascular disease and hypertension. SHRSP rats have been shown to develop stroke-related symptoms (SRS) by age 14 weeks when fed a purified diet, such as AIN-93G, supplemented with 1% NaCl. We conducted a pathology pilot study to compare the incidence of SRS in SHRSP rats fed either AIN-93G (with 1% NaCl in drinking water) or commercially available rat chow (with 4% NaCl in the diet), starting at 8 weeks of age. These results prompted us to analyze data from 5 earlier feeding trials using SHRSP rats. Overall, we found that SHRSP rats fed AIN-93G purified diet for 8 or 17 weeks did not demonstrate SRS (n?= 18), whereas all SHRSP rats fed lab chow exhibited SRS at age 15.1?± 0.6 weeks (n?= 23). In addition, SHRSP rats fed lab chow had decreased mass gain starting at age 13 weeks, as well as decreased feed efficiencies after the first 5 weeks of feeding (p?< 0.05). In conclusion, our data suggest that diet composition is a major contributor to the onset of stroke in SHRSP rats and that diet choice should be critically evaluated based on endpoint measures in the SHRSP model.  相似文献

  • 1.1. Using laser Doppler techniques in man, we have previously demonstrated differences in skin blood flow properties at sites with primarily nutritive (NUTR) perfusion, such as the elbow or knee, as compared to sites such as the finger pulp, with predominantly arteriovenous anastomotic (AVA) perfusion.
  • 2.2. Basal and heat stimulated flow is greater at AVA sites. In man, blood pressure changes are reflected primarily by changes at AVA rather than NUTR sites.
  • 3.3. These blood pressure induced changes affect the red blood cell velocity (VEL) component at AVA sites more than microvascular volume (VOL).
  • 4.4. Given these findings in man, we decided to compare skin blood flow properties in a suitable animal model.
  • 5.5. We chose the Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) strains, in view of the marked difference in systemic blood pressure in these two related strains.
  • 6.6. Skin blood flow varied considerably at different skin sites in the rats. Skin sites with hair covering, on the back and at the base of the tail, showed low basal and heat stimulated blood flow.
  • 7.7. In contrast, the plantar surface of the paw behaved similarly to the finger or toe pulps in man, with 3–4-fold higher basal flow than the hair covered areas and a 7–8-fold rise with local heating to 44°C.
  • 8.8. Furthermore, there was a 25% greater blood flow at the plantar paw surface in the SHR rats as compared to the WKY rats, corresponding to the 25% higher systemic blood pressure in these animals.
  • 9.9. The heat induced increase in flow at the plantar surface of the paw was primarily a result of a marked increase in VEL rather than VOL.
  • 10.10. The higher flow at this site in SHR as compared to WKY rats was likewise ascribable to an increase in VEL, VOL being equivalent in the two strains.

Tempol is an amphipathic radical nitroxide (N) that acutely reduces blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). We investigated the hypothesis that the response to nitroxides is determined by SOD mimetic activity or lipophilicity. Groups (n = 6-10) of anesthetized SHRs received graded intravenous doses of Ns: tempol (T), 4-amino-tempo (AT), 4-oxo-tempo (OT), 4-trimethylammonium-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl iodide (CAT-1), 3-carbamoyl-proxyl (3-CP), or 3-carboxy-proxyl (3-CTPY). Others received native or liposomal (L) Cu/Zn SOD. T and OT are uncharged, AT is positively charged and cell-permeable, and CAT-1 is positively charged and cell-impermeable. 3-CP and 3-CTPY have five-member pyrrolidine rings, whereas T, AT, OT, and CAT-1 have six-member piperidine rings. T and AT reduced mean arterial pressure (MAP) similarly (-48 +/- 2 mmHg and -55 +/- 8 mmHg) but more (P < 0.05) than OT and CAT-1. 3-CP and 3-CTPY were ineffective. The group mean change in MAP with piperidine Ns correlated with SOD activity (r = -0.94), whereas their ED(50) correlated with lipophilicity (r = 0.89). SOD and L-SOD did not lower BP acutely but reduced it after 90 min (-32 +/- 5 and -31 +/- 6 mmHg; P < 0.05 vs. vehicle). Pyrrolidine nitroxides are ineffective antihypertensive agents. The antihypertensive response to piperidine Ns is predicted by SOD mimetic action, and the sensitivity of response is by hydrophilicity. SOD exerts a delayed hypotensive action that is not enhanced by liposome encapsulation, suggesting it must diffuse to an extravascular site.  相似文献

Acute intravenous Tempol reduces mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in spontaneously hypertensive rats. We investigated the hypothesis that the antihypertensive action depends on generation of hydrogen peroxide, activation of heme oxygenase, glutathione peroxidase or potassium conductances, nitric oxide synthase, and/or the peripheral or central sympathetic nervous systems (SNSs). Tempol caused dose-dependent reductions in MAP and HR (at 174 micromol/kg; DeltaMAP, -57+/- 3 mmHg; and DeltaHR, -50 +/- 4 beats/min). The antihypertensive response was unaffected by the infusion of a pegylated catalase or by the inhibition of catalase with 3-aminotriazole, inhibition of glutathione peroxidase with buthionine sulfoximine, inhibition of heme oxygenase with tin mesoporphyrin, or inhibition of large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channels with iberiotoxin. However, the antihypertensive response was significantly (P < 0.01) blunted by 48% by the activation of adenosine 5'-triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels with cromakalim during maintenance of blood pressure with norepinephrine and by 31% by the blockade of these channels with glibenclamide, by 40% by the blockade of nitric oxide synthase with N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and by 40% by the blockade of ganglionic autonomic neurotransmission with hexamethonium. L-NAME and hexamethonium were additive, but glibenclamide and hexamethonium were less than additive. The central administration of Tempol was ineffective. The acute antihypertensive action of Tempol depends on the independent effects of potentiation of nitric oxide and inhibition of the peripheral SNS that involves the activation of K(ATP) channels.  相似文献

Urinary protein excretion and composition in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) change dramatically with age and sex. In this study, serum proteins were analyzed by electrophoresis in male and female SHR and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) normotensive controls aged 5 to 80 weeks. Serum albumin concentrations of SHR were significantly higher than those of WKY at 5 (4.02 +/- 0.24 vs 3.60 +/- 0.25 g/dl) and 20 weeks (4.30 +/- 0.30 vs 3.77 +/- 0.31 g/dl) and significantly lower at 73-80 weeks (2.73 +/- 0.33 vs 3.45 +/- 0.34 g/dl). In addition, male SHR had significantly lower albumin levels than female SHR after 40 weeks of age. These differences may contribute to the development of hypertension and reflect the appearance of pathologic proteinuria in SHR. In spite of their differences in albumin concentrations, the fractional composition of serum protein from SHR and WKY were undistinguishable. All animals, regardless of strain or sex, manifested a significant decline in the relative amounts of albumin and low molecular weight protein and a significant increase in the relative amount of high molecular weight protein with increasing age. The etiology and significance of these age related changes in the fractional composition of serum protein are unknown, but they differ from the normal developmental pattern in humans.  相似文献

The dopamine agonist apomorphine was more potent in eliciting hypothermia in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) than in normotensive Wistar rats (NWRs), while normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKYs) were intermediate in response. Various drug interventions were attempted in an effort to explain the greater sensitivity of SHRs to apomorphine. Haloperidol produced abolition of apomorphine-induced hypothermia in SHRs but at greater doses than required for antagonism of the drug effect in WKYs and NWRs. Chronic hydralazine treatment that reduced the high blood pressure of SHRs failed to appreciably influence the magnitude of apomorphine-induced hypothermia, compared to the response in control SHRs that received no hydralazine. These findings suggested to us that the enhanced hypothermic effect of apomorphine in SHRs was entirely dopamine receptor-mediated and that it was also independent of the high blood pressure. We also found that chronic lithium treatment that had no influence upon apomorphine-induced hypothermia in WKYs and NWRs significantly reduced the drug effect in SHRs. Based on this finding, we suggest that the greater hypothermic effect induced by apomorphine in SHRs might be due to a supersensitivity of hypothermia-mediating dopamine receptors in the hypertensive strain.  相似文献

Genetic analysis of metabolic defects in the spontaneously hypertensive rat   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Abnormalities in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are common in patients with essential hypertension and in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). To identify chromosome regions contributing to this clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in the SHR, we searched for quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia by using the HXB/BXH recombinant inbred (RI) strains. Analysis of variance in RI strains suggested significant effects of genetic factors. A genome screening of the RI strains with more than 700 markers revealed QTL significantly associated with insulin resistance on Chromosomes (Chrs) 3 and 19. The Chr 19 QTL was confirmed by testing a previously derived SHR-19 congenic strain: transfer of a Chr 19 segment delineated by markers D19Rat57 and D19Mit7 from the Brown Norway (BN/Cr) strain onto the genetic background of the SHR/Ola was associated with decreased insulin and glucose concentrations and ameliorated insulin resistance at the tissue level. These findings suggest that closely linked genes on Chr 19, or perhaps even a single gene with pleiotropic effects, influence the clustering of metabolic disturbances in the SHR-BN model.  相似文献

The pituitary-adrenal response to ether stress in the spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive (WKYN) rat was investigated at three time intervals: 0, 30, and 60 min after exposure to ether vapor. Plasma corticosterone concentrations were significantly higher in the WKYN than SHR rat before stress (0 min), and 30 min after stress. However, 60 min following ether stress the magnitude of increase in plasma and adrenal concentration of corticosterone over basal values was greater in the SHR line than in the WKYN line. The adrenal response to IV administration of 100 μU of ACTH was equivalent in the two lines. The data suggest that the prolonged adrenal response to ether stress in the SHR line is the result of a greater or more prolonged secretion of ACTH in that line than in the WKYN animals.  相似文献

Recipients of a kidney from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) but not from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) develop posttransplantation hypertension. To investigate whether renal sodium retention precedes the development of posttransplantation hypertension in recipients of an SHR kidney on a standard sodium diet (0.6% NaCl), we transplanted SHR and WKY kidneys to SHR x WKY F1 hybrids, measured daily sodium balances during the first 12 days after removal of both native kidneys, and recorded mean arterial pressure (MAP) after 8 wk. Recipients of an SHR kidney (n = 12) retained more sodium than recipients of a WKY kidney (n = 12) (7.3 +/- 10 vs. 4.0 +/- 0.7 mmol, P < 0.05). MAP was 144 +/- 6 mmHg in recipients of an SHR kidney and 106 +/- 5 mmHg in recipients of a WKY kidney (P < 0.01). Modest sodium restriction (0.2% NaCl) in a further group of recipients of an SHR kidney (n = 10) did not prevent posttransplantation hypertension (MAP, 142 +/- 4 mmHg). Urinary endothelin and urodilatin excretion rates were similar in recipients of an SHR and a WKY kidney. Transient excess sodium retention after renal transplantation may contribute to posttransplantation hypertension in recipients of an SHR kidney.  相似文献
