The influence of long-term hypoxia on noradrenergic cell groups in the brain stem was assessed by estimating the changes in norepinephrine (NE) turnover in A1, A2 (subdivided into anterior and posterior parts), A5, and A6 groups in rats exposed to hypoxia (10% O2-90% N2) for 14 days. The NE turnover was decreased in A5 and A6 groups but failed to change significantly in A1. The NE turnover was increased in the posterior part of A2 and remained unaltered in the anterior part. In normoxic rats, the hypotensive drug dihydralazine induced a reverse effect, namely increased NE turnover in anterior A2 and no change in posterior A2. The neurochemical responses to hypoxia were abolished by transection of carotid sinus nerves. The results show that long-term hypoxia exerts differential effects on the noradrenergic cell groups located in the brain stem. Peripheral chemosensory inputs control the hypoxia-induced noradrenergic alterations. The A2 cell group displays a functional subdivision: the posterior part is influenced by peripheral chemosensory inputs, whereas the anterior part may be concerned with barosensitivity.  相似文献

The effects of noradrenaline infusion on the regulation of oxidative metabolism in isolated rat heart were studied. It appeared that functional and metabolic parameters of heart of non-resistant and high-resistant to hypoxia rats were different. Noradrenaline changed the balance between aerobic and anaerobic processes in rat heart. It is evident that heart adrenoreceptors are involved in regulation of oxidative metabolism responsible for individual resistance of rat heart to hypoxia.  相似文献

Experiments on 228 male albino rats revealed an increase in the functional activity of all the sections of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal adrenal neurosecretory system. A degree of a functional activity of this system was of great significance in the development of the organism's resistance to hypoxia. The leading section of the activation of this system was secretion of the corticotropine-releasing factor of the hypothalamus.  相似文献

Respiratory mechanics in adult rats hypoxic in the neonatal period   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Newborn rats were exposed to 10% O2 from 24 h to 6 days after birth, then returned to normoxia and examined at 50 days of age, i.e., after reaching sexual maturity. Despite the important impairment in somatic growth during hypoxia, at 50 days body weight and nose-tail length were as in control rats never exposed to hypoxia. Hypoxic rats had a bigger chest, with larger anteroposterior diameter, larger surface area of the muscle component of the diaphragm, and heavier and more expanded lungs. None of these structural changes were observed in a third group of rats, which were exposed for 6 days to hypoxia between 35 and 42 days of age, i.e., at a much more advanced stage of postnatal development. In addition, hypoxic rats had higher compliance of the respiratory system and of the lung and lower total pulmonary resistance than control rats. Frequency dependence of compliance was not different. We conclude that in the rat the structural changes induced by neonatal chronic hypoxia are not resolved by the return to normoxia but persist at least until postpuberty with modifications of the mechanical properties of the respiratory system.  相似文献

Handedness in skilled movements of animals is a result of interaction of innate motor preference and learning. The nature of the innate preference is not clear. Breeding of right-handed and left-handed mice revealed that the degree rather than direction of motor preference is an inherited feature. There is, however, a correlation between the direction of preference and a number of morphological, functional, and neurochemical characters. Shifts of a preference direction were found in some strains of mice. Differences between right-handed and left-handed rats were revealed in social behavior, learning, and resistance to forced retraining. Strains of rats with different forms of genetic epilepsy were characterized by the predominance of animals with a certain direction of the motor preference. This evidence suggests some genetic influence on a direction of the motor preference. Perhaps, genetic and environmental factors closely interact in determining motor preference in animals.  相似文献

A number of neurochemical investigations have shown that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) metabolism and turnover is greater in females than male rats. However increased 5-HT metabolism does not necessarily imply greater 5-HT release at the functional post-synaptic sites. Pharmacological research based on 5-HT receptor stimulation therefore gained attention. Studies of this type are complicated because of the multiplicity of 5-HT receptors in the central nervous system. Chemical ligands may not have sufficient selectivity, to specifically bind to a single receptor population. Moreover, both the density and distribution of 5-HT receptors may follow a different pattern in male and female rats. 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) is a centrally acting 5-HT agonist with a ligand binding profile showing selectivity towards 5-HT-1A receptor sites. The present article integrates research on neurochemical and behavioural effects of 8-OH-DPAT in male and female rats, in order to investigate sex-related differences in 5-HT-1A receptor dependent functions.  相似文献

In rats, the individual sensitivity to hypoxia plays an prominent role for recovery of animals after mechanic brain injury. Enthomerzol (25 mg/kg intraperitoneally) for three days after brain injury decreased behavioral disorders in rats with different resistance to acute hypoxia, recovered structure of individual behavior, prevented metabolic disorders in brain. Therefore, antihypoxant ethomerzol is effective as a drug against hypoxia due to brain injury.  相似文献

Pronouncement of stress-induced disturbance of searching behaviour (using "open field" test) and stomach ulceration were compared for the first time with activity of the catecholamine system in hypothalamus and striatum and also with activity of the stress-limiting system of nitric oxide (NO) in the rats of two strains August and Wistar, which differ in their resistance against stress-induced cardiovascular disorders. The effect of prior adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia on these disorders was also studied. August rats appeared to be more resistant than Wistar rats against stress-induced disturbance of the searching behaviour and stomach ulceration. Results of measuring the content of catecholamines in brain structures and the content of NO stable metabolites nitrate/nitrite in plasma suggested that these differences could be due to the stress activation of the nigro-striatal dopaminergic system in August rats, which was not observed in Wistar rats, and also to the higher production of NO in August than in Wistar rats. Adaptation to hypoxia considerably restricted these stress disorders in rats of both strains. Importantly, the protective effects were associated with activation of the nigro-striatal dopaminergic system in all the animals. In the result, adapted Wistar rats, as distinct from non-adapted Wistar rats, displayed a stress activation of this system. The protective effects of adaptation were also accompanied by an increased NO synthesis. Taken together, the data suggest an important role of the responsiveness of the brain dopaminergic system and NO system in the mechanism of resistance against stress-induced disturbances.  相似文献

Research was conducted studying the peculiarities of development of pharmacological kindling in rats with different tolerance to hypoxia. Kindling was evoked by injecting subconvulsive doses of corazol (25 mg per kg) every day. Intensity of convulsions was expressed in points. Reliable distinction in intensity of convulsion between low-tolerant rats and high-tolerant rats to hypoxia was found on the 17th day of stimulation; amongst the group of low-tolerant rats the intensity of convulsions was found to be 2.46 + 0.30 points, and amongst the group of high-tolerant rats--1.20 + 0.22 points (p 0.05). On the 23rd day of injection the preparation convulsions in the group of low-tolerant rats reached up to 4.00 + 0.20 points and in the group of high-tolerant rats 2.28 + 0.45 points (p 0.01). The changes of violation of behavior were found to be different. Thus, the higher the individual resistance to hypoxia, the more is the resistance of the animal to the effect of epileptogens.  相似文献

Effects of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels opener pinacidil (0.06 mg/kg) and inhibitor glibenclamide (1 mg/kg) in rats with different resistance to hypoxia on indices of ADP-stimulation of mitochondrial respiration by Chance, calcium capacity and processes of lipid peroxidation in liver has been investigated. We used next substrates of oxidation: 0.35 mM succinate, 1 mM alpha-ketoglutarate. Additional analyses contain the next inhibitors: mitochondrial fermentative complex I-10 mkM rotenone, succinate dehydrogenase 2 mM malonic acid. It was shown that effects of pinacidil induced the increasing of oxidative phosporylation efficacy and ATP synthesis together with lowering of calcium capacity in rats with low resistance to hypoxia. Effects of pinacidil were leveled by glibenclamide. These changes are connected with the increasing of respiratory rate, calcium overload and intensification of lipid peroxidation processes. A conclusion was made about protective effect of pinacidil on mitochondrial functioning by economization of oxygen-dependent processes, adaptive potentialities of organisms with low resistance to hypoxia being increased.  相似文献

Although many studies have revealed alterations in neurotransmission during ischaemia, few works have been devoted to the neurochemical effects of mild hypoxia, a situation encountered during life in altitude or in several pathologies. In that context, the present work was undertaken to determine the in vivo mechanisms underlying the striatal dopamine efflux induced by mild hypoxaemic hypoxia. For that purpose, the extracellular concentrations of dopamine and its metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid were simultaneously measured using brain microdialysis during acute hypoxic exposure (10% O2, 1 h) in awake rats. Hypoxia induced a +80% increase in dopamine. Application of the dopamine transporters inhibitor, nomifensine (10 μM), just before the hypoxia prevented the rise in dopamine during the early part of hypoxia; in contrast the application of nomifensine after the beginning of hypoxia, failed to alter the increase in dopamine. Application of the voltage-dependent Na+ channel blocker tetrodotoxin abolished the increase in dopamine, whether administered just before or after the beginning of hypoxia. These data show that the neurochemical mechanisms of the dopamine efflux may change over the course of the hypoxic exposure, dopamine transporters being involved only at the beginning of hypoxia.  相似文献

Newborn rats were exposed to hypoxia (10% O2 + N2) from 24 h to day 6 of neonatal life and then returned to room air until 45 days of age (experimental). The rats were anaesthetized, heparinized, and exsanguinated. The chest was opened and the lungs were perfused with diluted autologous blood at a constant flow rate (Q). The pulmonary arterial pressure (Pa) and venous pressure (Pv) were monitored. The properties of the pulmonary vasculature were assessed by measuring baseline vascular resistance, PVR = (Pa-Pv)/Q, segmental pressure gradients (double occlusion technique), pressure-flow relationship, hypoxic pressor response (HPR, 3% O2), and the response to 0.5 microgram bolus of angiotensin II (AII). These were compared with similar measurements on age-matched control animals never exposed to hypoxia. The perfusate hematocrit and gases were not significantly different between the two groups. The PVR normalized to body weight was 30% higher in the experimental groups (p less than 0.005). The double occlusion results (obtained at a flow rate of 13 mL/min) revealed that this increase in resistance was primarily due to the increase in the postcapillary resistance. HPR was primarily in the upstream segment in both groups but was larger in the experimental group. In contrast, the response to AII occurred in both the upstream as well as in the downstream vascular segments and did not differ between the two groups. We conclude that adult rats exposed to hypoxia in the neonatal period have elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and increased vascular reactivity to hypoxia.  相似文献

Individual variations of the respiratory system reactivity have been studied in experiments on rats. It is shown expedient to estimate reactivity of the respiratory system to hypoxic hypoxia by the pattern of changes in the total oxygen uptake. Animals demonstrating no essential changes in the oxygen uptake in response to hypoxia (11% O2) are referred to individuals with high reactivity of the respiratory system; those responding by a drastic decrease in the oxygen uptake--to animals with low reactivity of the respiratory system. A strong correlation is determined between the respiratory system reactivity and individual resistance of organism to acute hypoxic hypoxia.  相似文献

Dynamics of breathing in the hypoxic awake lamb   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Newborn mammals respond to hypoxia with an immediate hyperventilation that is rapidly dampened. Changes in mechanical properties of the respiratory system during hypoxia have been considered an important reason for this fall in minute ventilation (VE). We have studied the dynamic mechanical behavior of the respiratory system in eight unanesthetized intact newborn lambs (mean age 2 days) during normoxia and hypoxia (FIO2 = 0.08). Mouth pressure (P), airflow (V), and volume (V) were recorded while lambs were breathing through a leak-proof face mask and a pneumotachograph. Active compliance (C') and resistance (R') of the respiratory system were computed from P developed during an inspiratory effort against airway closure at end expiration and V and V of the preceding breaths. Tidal expiratory V-V curves were analyzed to estimate the elevation in functional residual capacity (FRC) over resting volume (Vr). After hypoxia, there was an immediate increase in VE in the first 2 min, from 0.49 to 1.13 l.kg-1.min-1, followed by a rapid decrease to 0.80. After 8 min of hypoxia, C' was unchanged. The inspiratory R' decreased during hypoxia, probably reflecting a drop in inspiratory laryngeal resistance. The expiratory V-V curves during hypoxia showed considerable braking, often with a double peak in expiratory V. This pattern was only occasionally seen during normoxia. In animals with a linear segment of the expiratory V-V curves the FRC-Vr difference could be calculated and averaged 1.93 ml/kg during normoxia and 3.47 during hypoxia. The recoil P of the respiratory system at end expiration was 0.75 cmH2O during normoxia vs. 1.63 cmH2O during hypoxia (P less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Various ECG characteristics are investigated in white rats subjected to acute hypobaric hypoxia on the 9th–10th day of gestation corresponding to the period of organogenesis. The hypoxia-induced changes in the ECG characteristics are different in groups with a low, middle, and high resistance to acute hypoxia.  相似文献

The antihypoxic effects of gutimine, piracetam, sodium hydroxybutyrate and lithium hydroxybityrate were studied on different models of brain hypoxia. All the drugs under study produced a remarkable antihypoxic effect in experimental asphyxic hypoxia, increasing brain resistance to oxygen deficiency and rapidly restituting brain function. Drug pretreatment of the animals with carotid artery occlusion raised the number of animals which survived 24 h after the operation. GABA salts appeared the most effective. Sodium hydroxybutyrate increased the lifespan of rats under histotoxic hypoxia.  相似文献

Stress reactions with activation of the sympathetic-adrenal system due to acute hypoxia reflects the degree of sensitivity of the body to this extreme factor. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activation in cells as an adaptive response to acute hypoxia is closely associated with the degree of disturbance of tissue respiration through a lack of oxygen in the tissues, including the manifestation of “biochemical shock,” which is an unavoidable component of implementation of the protective effect of radioprotectors. In experiments on mice, rats, and dogs, the correlation between the manifestation of the radioprotective effect of acute hypoxia and SDH activation in blood lymphocytes, caused primarily by adrenergic stimulation during stress reactions, is confirmed. The degree of SDH activation in blood lymphocytes by hypoxia of different origins including that induced by radioprotectors may indicate its radioprotective potential irrespective of the differences in the oxygen consumption intensity and the resistance to acute hypoxia in animals and humans.  相似文献

Experiments conducted on male rats with congenital high and low resistance to hypoxia (HH and LH, respectively) have revealed, that injection of prostaglandin E2 (PHE2) 15 min before the injection of adrenalin essentially decreases the activity of lipid peroxidation in myocardium as compared with animals which have been injected to only adrenalin. This modulative effect (PHE2) on the action of adrenalin was more pronounced in LH-rats. Consequently, the activity of the prostaglandin stress-limiting system determines to a great extent the organism resistance to hypoxia.  相似文献

To test the hypothesis that stress alters the performance of the respiratory control system, we compared the acute (20 min) responses to moderate hypoxia and hypercapnia of rats previously subjected to immobilization stress (90 min/day) with responses of control animals. Ventilatory measurements were performed on awake rats using whole body plethysmography. Under baseline conditions, there were no differences in minute ventilation between stressed and unstressed groups. Rats previously exposed to immobilization stress had a 45% lower ventilatory response to hypercapnia (inspiratory CO(2) fraction = 0.05) than controls. In contrast, stress exposure had no statistically significant effect on the ventilatory response to hypoxia (inspiratory O(2) fraction = 0.12). Stress-induced attenuation of the hypercapnic response was associated with reduced tidal volume and inspiratory flow increases; the frequency and timing components of the response were not different between groups. We conclude that previous exposure to a stressful condition that does not constitute a direct challenge to respiratory homeostasis can elicit persistent (> or =24 h) functional plasticity in the ventilatory control system.  相似文献
