We determined the effect of microinjection of ANG-(1-7) and ANG II into two key regions of the medulla that control the circulation [rostral and caudal ventrolateral medulla (RVLM and CVLM, respectively)] on baroreflex control of heart rate (HR) in anesthetized rats. Reflex bradycardia and tachycardia were induced by increases and decreases in mean arterial pressure produced by intravenous phenylephrine and sodium nitroprusside, respectively. The pressor effects of ANG-(1-7) and ANG II (25 pmol) after RVLM microinjection (11 +/- 0.8 and 10 +/- 2 mmHg, respectively) were not accompanied by consistent changes in HR. In addition, RVLM microinjection of these angiotensin peptides did not alter the bradycardic or tachycardic component of the baroreflex. CVLM microinjections of ANG-(1-7) and ANG II produced hypotension (-11 +/- 1.5 and -11 +/- 1.9 mmHg, respectively) that was similarly not accompanied by significant changes in HR. However, CVLM microinjections of angiotensins induced differential changes in the baroreflex control of HR. ANG-(1-7) attenuated the baroreflex bradycardia (0.26 +/- 0.06 ms/mmHg vs. 0.42 +/- 0.08 ms/mmHg before treatment) and facilitated the baroreflex tachycardia (0.86 +/- 0.19 ms/mmHg vs. 0.42 +/- 0.10 ms/mmHg before treatment); ANG II produced the opposite effect, attenuating baroreflex tachycardia (0.09 +/- 0.06 ms/mmHg vs. 0.31 +/- 0.07 ms/mmHg before treatment) and facilitating the baroreflex bradycardia (0.67 +/- 0.16 ms/mmHg vs. 0.41 +/- 0.05 ms/mmHg before treatment). The modulatory effect of ANG II and ANG-(1-7) on baroreflex sensitivity was completely abolished by peripheral administration of methylatropine. These results suggest that ANG II and ANG-(1-7) at the CVLM produce a differential modulation of the baroreflex control of HR, probably through distinct effects on the parasympathetic drive to the heart. 相似文献

We investigated autonomic control of cardiovascular function in able-bodied (AB), paraplegic (PARA), and tetraplegic (TETRA) subjects in response to head-up tilt following spinal cord injury. We evaluated spectral power of blood pressure (BP), baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), baroreflex effectiveness index (BEI), occurrence of systolic blood pressure (SBP) ramps, baroreflex sequences, and cross-correlation of SBP with heart rate (HR) in low (0.04-0.15 Hz)- and high (0.15-0.4 Hz)-frequency regions. During tilt, AB and PARA effectively regulated BP and HR, but TETRA did not. The numbers of SBP ramps and percentages of heartbeats involved in SBP ramps and baroreflex sequences increased in AB, were unchanged in PARA, and declined in TETRA. BRS was lowest in PARA and declined with tilt in all groups. BEI was greatest in AB and declined with tilt in all groups. Low-frequency power of BP and the peak of the SBP/HR cross-correlation magnitude were greatest in AB, increased during tilt in AB, remained unchanged in PARA, and declined in TETRA. The peak cross-correlation magnitude in HF decreased with tilt in all groups. Our data indicate that spinal cord injury results in decreased stimulation of arterial baroreceptors and less engagement of feedback control as demonstrated by lower 1) spectral power of BP, 2) number (and percentages) of SBP ramps and barosequences, 3) cross-correlation magnitude of SBP/HR, 4) BEI, and 5) changes in delay between SBP/HR. Diminished vasomotion and impaired baroreflex regulation may be major contributors to decreased orthostatic tolerance following injury. 相似文献

Angiotensin-(ANG)-(1-7) is known by its central and peripheral actions, which mainly oppose the deleterious effects induced by accumulation of ANG II during pathophysiological conditions. In the present study we evaluated whether a chronic increase in ANG-(1-7) levels in the brain would modify the progression of hypertension. After DOCA-salt hypertension was induced for seven days, Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 14 days of intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of ANG-(1-7) (200 ng/h, DOCA-A7) or 0.9% sterile saline. As expected, on the 21st day, DOCA rats presented increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) (≈40%), and impaired baroreflex control of heart rate (HR) and baroreflex renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in comparison with that in normotensive control rats (CTL). These changes were followed by an overactivity of the cardiac sympathetic tone and reduction of the cardiac parasympathetic tone, and exaggerated mRNA expression of collagen type I (≈9-fold) in the left ventricle. In contrast, DOCA rats treated with ANG-(1-7) ICV had an improvement of baroreflex control of HR, which was even higher than that in CTL, and a restoration of the baroreflex control of RSNA, the balance of cardiac autonomic tone, and normalized mRNA expression of collagen type I in the left ventricle. Furthermore, DOCA-A7 had MAP lowered significantly. These effects were not accompanied by significant circulating or cardiac changes in angiotensin levels. Taken together, our data show that chronic increase in ANG-(1-7) in the brain attenuates the development of DOCA-salt hypertension, highlighting the importance of this peptide in the brain for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献

In the brains of teleosts, angiotensin II (ANG II), one of the main effector peptides of the renin-angiotensin system, is implicated in various physiological functions notably body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and cardiovascular regulation, but nothing is known regarding the potential action of ANG II and other angiotensin derivatives on ventilation. Consequently, the goal of the present study was to determine possible ventilatory and cardiovascular effects of intracerebroventricular injection of picomole doses (5-100 pmol) of trout [Asn(1)]-ANG II, [Asp(1)]-ANG II, ANG III, ANG IV, and ANG 1-7 into the third ventricle of unanesthetized trout. The central actions of these peptides were also compared with their ventilatory and cardiovascular actions when injected peripherally. Finally, we examined the presence of [Asn(1)]-ANG II, [Asp(1)]-ANG II, ANG III, and ANG IV in the brain and plasma using radioimmunoassay coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography. After intracerebroventricular injection, [Asn(1)]-ANG II and [Asp(1)]-ANG II two ANG IIs, elevated the total ventilation through a selective stimulatory action on the ventilation amplitude. However, the hyperventilatory effect of [Asn(1)]-ANG II was threefold higher than the effect of [Asp(1)]-ANG II at the 50-pmol dose. ANG III, ANG IV, and ANG 1-7 were without effect. In addition, ANG IIs and ANG III increased dorsal aortic blood pressure (P(DA)) and heart rate (HR). After intra-arterial injections, none of the ANG II peptides affected the ventilation but [Asn(1)]-ANG II, [Asp(1)]-ANG II, and ANG III elevated P(DA) (50 pmol: +80%, +58% and +48%, respectively) without significant decrease in HR. In brain tissue, comparable amounts of [Asn(1)]-ANG II and [Asp(1)]-ANG II were detected (ca. 40 fmol/mg brain tissue), but ANG III was not detected, and the amount of ANG IV was about eightfold lower than the content of the ANG IIs. In plasma, ANG IIs were also the major angiotensins (ca. 110 fmol/ml plasma), while significant but lower amounts of ANG III and ANG IV were present in plasma. In conclusion, our study suggests that the two ANG II isoforms produced within the brain may act as a neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator to regulate the cardioventilatory functions in trout. In the periphery, two ANG IIs and their COOH-terminal peptides may act as a circulating hormone preferentially involved in cardiovascular regulations. 相似文献

Animal studies have demonstrated that visceral afferent stimulation alters autonomic cardiovascular reflexes. This mechanism might play an important role in the pathophysiology of conditions associated with visceral hypersensitivity, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). As such, studies in humans are lacking, we measured viscerosensory-cardiovascular reflex interactions in IBS patients and healthy controls. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), and arterial baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were studied in 87 IBS patients and 36 healthy controls under baseline conditions and during mild (15 mmHg) and intense (35 mmHg) visceral stimulation by rectal balloon distension. BRS was computed from continuous ECG and arterial blood pressure signals (Finapres-method) during 5-min periods of 15-min metronome respiration. Baseline SBP and HR were not different between patients and controls. In both groups, SBP increased similarly during rectal stimulation, whereas HR decreased during mild and increased intense stimulation. BRS was significantly higher in patients compared with controls at baseline (7.9 +/- 5.4 vs. 5.7 +/- 3.7 ms/mmHg, P = 0.03) and increased significantly in both groups during mild stimulation. This increase persisted in controls during intense stimulation, but BRS returned to baseline in patients. BRS was not significantly different between groups during rectal distension. This study demonstrates the presence of a viscerosensory-cardiovascular reflex in healthy individuals and in IBS patients. The increased BRS in IBS patients at baseline may either be a training-effect (frequent challenging of the reflex) or reflects altered viscerosensory processing at the nucleus tractus solitarii. 相似文献

Autonomic effects of central injections of D-Ala2-Met-enkephalinamide (DAME) in the conscious monkey
The use of naloxone (NAL), an opioid receptor antagonist, has provided indirect evidence that endogenous opioids contribute to cardiovascular depression during shock. To determine if endogenous opioids act centrally to influence cardiovascular function, injections of D-Ala2-Met-enkephalinamide (DAME), a potent Met-enkephalin analog, were made into the 3rd cerebral ventricle (ICV) of 5 conscious cynomulgus monkeys restrained in primate chairs. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) were determined every 10 min during a 30-60 min control period and for up to 5 hr post-injection. Colonic temperature (Tc) was monitored continuously. SBP declined from baseline values with 50 and 100 micrograms (85.2 and 170.4 nM) doses but was significant (p less than 0.001) for only the 100 micrograms dose between 15-125 min post-injection. HR also decreased but did not exhibit any significant variation with time. However, when averaged across time, HR fell significantly (p less than 0.001) from baseline: -9.1 +/- 2.3 and -15.0 +/- 2.1 b/min for 50 and 100 micrograms DAME, respectively. Tc displayed a nonsignificant, delayed (greater than 2 hr) rise in Tc with the 50 micrograms dose, whereas the 100 micrograms dose caused a significant (p less than 0.001) decline in Tc (from 65-125 min post-injection). NAL injected ICV attenuated the effects of DAME but had no effect on SBP, HR or Tc when injected alone. Systemic injection of DAME (300 micrograms) in one monkey produced a transient decline in SBP (26 mmHg within 2 min) which returned to baseline values 4 min post-injection. HR and Tc were unchanged.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Cyclosporine A (CyA), an immunosuppressant drug, has been shown to attenuate the baroreflex control of heart rate (HR). This study investigated whether or not the CyA-induced baroreflex dysfunction is due to alterations in the autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) control of the heart. We evaluated the effect of muscarinic or beta-adrenergic blockade by atropine and propranolol, respectively, on reflex HR responses in conscious rats treated with CyA (20 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) dissolved in sesame oil) for 11-13 days or the vehicle. Baroreflex curves relating changes in HR to increases or decreases in blood pressure (BP) evoked by phenylephrine (PE) and sodium nitroprusside (NP), respectively, were constructed and the slopes of the curves were taken as a measure of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS(PE) and BRS(NP)). Intravenous administration of PE and NP produced dose-related increases and decreases in BP, respectively, that were associated with reciprocal changes in HR. CyA caused significant (P < 0.05) reductions in reflex HR responses as indicated by the smaller BRS(PE) (-0.97 +/- 0.07 versus -1.47 +/- 0.10 beats x min(-1) x mmHg(-1) (1 mmHg = 133.322 Pa)) and BRS(NP) (-2.49 +/- 0.29 versus -5.23 +/- 0.42 beats x min(-1) x mmHg(-1)) in CyA-treated versus control rats. Vagal withdrawal evoked by muscarinic blockade elicited significantly lesser attenuation of BRS(PE) in CyA compared with control rats (40.2 +/- 8.0 versus 57.7 +/- 4.4%) and abolished the BRS(PE) difference between the two groups, suggesting that CyA reduces vagal activity. CyA also appears to impair cardiac sympathetic control because blockade of beta-adrenergic receptors by propranolol was less effective in reducing reflex tachycardic responses in CyA compared with control rats (41.6 +/- 4.2 versus 59.5 +/- 4.5%). These findings confirm earlier reports that CyA attenuates the baroreceptor control of HR. More importantly, the study provides the first pharmacological evidence that CyA attenuates reflex chronotropic responses via impairment of the autonomic modulation of the baroreceptor neural pathways. 相似文献

The purpose of this project was to identify whether dynamic baroreflex regulation of heart rate (HR) is altered during whole body heating. In 14 subjects, dynamic baroreflex regulation of HR was assessed using transfer function analysis. In normothermic and heat-stressed conditions, each subject breathed at a fixed rate (0. 25 Hz) while beat-by-beat HR and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were obtained. Whole body heating significantly increased sublingual temperature, HR, and forearm skin blood flow. Spectral analysis of HR and SBP revealed that the heat stress significantly reduced HR and SBP variability within the high-frequency range (0.2-0.3 Hz), reduced SBP variability within the low-frequency range (0.03-0.15 Hz), and increased the ratio of low- to high-frequency HR variability (all P < 0.01). Transfer function gain analysis showed that the heat stress reduced dynamic baroreflex regulation of HR within the high-frequency range (from 1.04 +/- 0.06 to 0.54 +/- 0.6 beats. min(-1). mmHg(-1); P < 0.001) without significantly affecting the gain in the low-frequency range (P = 0.63). These data suggest that whole body heating reduced high-frequency dynamic baroreflex regulation of HR associated with spontaneous changes in blood pressure. Reduced vagal baroreflex regulation of HR may contribute to reduced orthostatic tolerance known to occur in humans during heat stress. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that individuals with Down syndrome, but without congenital heart disease, exhibit altered autonomic cardiac regulation. Ten subjects with Down syndrome (DS) and ten gender-and age-matched healthy control subjects were studied at rest and during active orthostatism, which induces reciprocal changes in sympathetic and parasympathetic traffic to the heart. Autoregressive power spectral analysis was used to investigate R-R interval variability. Baroreflex modulation of sinus node was assessed by the spontaneous baroreflex sequences method. No significant differences between DS and control subjects were observed in arterial blood pressure at rest or in response to standing. Also, R-R interval did not differ at rest. R-R interval decreased significantly less during standing in DS vs. control subjects. Low-frequency (LFNU) and high-frequency (HFNU) (both expressed in normalized units) components of R-R interval variability did not differ between DS and control subjects at rest. During standing, significant increase in LFNU and decrease in HFNU were observed in control subjects but not in DS subjects. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) did not differ between DS and control subjects at rest and underwent significant decrease on going from supine to upright in both groups. However, BRS was greater in DS vs. control subjects during standing. These data indicate that subjects with DS exhibit reduced HR response to orthostatic stress associated with blunted sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal and with a lesser reduction in BRS in response to active orthostatism. These findings suggest overall impairment in autonomic cardiac regulation in DS and may help to explain the chronotropic incompetence typically reported during exercise in subjects with DS without congenital heart disease. 相似文献

Previous studies with anesthetized animals have shown that the pressor region of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is a critical site in vasomotor control. The aim of this study was to develop, in conscious rabbits, a technique for microinjecting into the RVLM and to determine the influence of this area on renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and arterial pressure (AP) using local injections of glutamate, rilmenidine, ANG II and sarile. Rabbits were implanted with guide cannulas for bilateral microinjections into the RVLM (n = 7) or into the intermediate ventrolateral medulla (IVLM, n = 6) and an electrode for measuring RSNA. After 7 days of recovery, injections of glutamate (10 and 20 nmol) into the RVLM increased RSNA by 81 and 88% and AP by 17 and 25 mmHg, respectively. Infusion of glutamate (2 nmol/min) into the RVLM increased AP by 15 mmHg and the RSNA baroreflex range by 38%. By contrast, injection of the imidazoline receptor agonist rilmenidine (4 nmol) into the RVLM decreased AP by 8 mmHg and the RSNA baroreflex range by 37%. Injections of rilmenidine into the IVLM did not alter AP or RSNA. Surprisingly, treatments with ANG II (4 pmol/min) or the ANG II receptor antagonist sarile (500 pmol) into the RVLM did not affect the resting or baroreflex parameters. Infusion of ANG II (4 pmol/min) into the fourth ventricle increased AP and facilitated the RSNA baroreflex. Our results show that agents administered via a novel microinjecting system for conscious rabbits can selectively modulate neuronal activity in circumscribed regions of the ventrolateral medulla. We conclude that the RVLM plays a key role in circulatory control in conscious rabbits. However, we find no evidence for the role of ANG II receptors in the RVLM in the moment-to-moment regulation of AP and RSNA. 相似文献

The efficiency of baroreflex control depends on the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), which is defined as the ratio of the change in the heart rate (HR) to the change in the blood pressure (BP). The BRS value may be used for assessing the autonomic control of the cardiovascular system and the degree of autonomic dysfunction. Until recently, the baroreflex had not been assessed in a large population of healthy subjects. In this study, the BRS was estimated by the ratio of the low-frequency component of the HR spectrum and the low-frequency component of the rhythm of the systolic BP. For assessing the arterial baroreflex in children, the BRSs for spontaneous and induced baroreflexes were compared. Sex-and age-related differences in BRS were found in 8-to-11-year-old children, and correlations between BRS and some spectral components of HR variability (HRV) and BP rhythm variability were determined. Cluster analysis of the BRS calculated for the spontaneous baroreflex at rest was used to distinguish three clusters of subjects (with high, medium, and low BRSs). These clusters differed in the variability of the basic parameter and size and showed sex-related differences. 相似文献

Circulating ANG II modulates the baroreceptor reflex control of heart rate (HR), at least partly via activation of ANG II type 1 (AT1) receptors on neurons in the area postrema. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the effects of circulating ANG II on the baroreflex also depend on AT1 receptors within the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). In confirmation of previous studies in other species, increases in arterial pressure induced by intravenous infusion of ANG II had little effect on HR in urethane-anesthetized rats, in contrast to the marked bradycardia evoked by equipressor infusion of phenylephrine. In the presence of a continuous background infusion of ANG II, the baroreflex control of HR was shifted to higher levels of HR but had little effect on the baroreflex control of renal sympathetic activity. The modulatory effects of circulating ANG II on the cardiac baroreflex were significantly reduced by microinjection of candesartan, an AT1 receptor antagonist, into the area postrema and virtually abolished by microinjections of candesartan into the medial NTS. After acute ablation of the area postrema, a background infusion of ANG II still caused an upward shift of the cardiac baroreflex curve, which was reversed by subsequent microinjection of candesartan into the medial NTS. The results indicate that AT1 receptors in the medial NTS play a critical role in modulation of the cardiac baroreflex by circulating ANG II via mechanisms that are at least partly independent of AT1 receptors in the area postrema. 相似文献

The arterial baroreflex buffers slow (<0.05 Hz) blood pressure (BP) fluctuations, mainly by controlling peripheral resistance. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), an important characteristic of baroreflex control, is often noninvasively assessed by relating heart rate (HR) fluctuations to BP fluctuations; more specifically, spectral BRS assessment techniques focus on the BP-to-HR transfer function around 0.1 Hz. Skepticism about the relevance of BRS to characterize baroreflex-mediated BP buffering is based on two considerations: 1) baroreflex-modulated peripheral vasomotor function is not necessarily related to baroreflex-HR transfer; and 2) although BP fluctuations around 0.1 Hz (Mayer waves) might be related to baroreflex BP buffering, they are merely a not-intended side effect of a closed-loop control system. To further investigate the relationship between BRS and baroreflex-mediated BP buffering, we set up a computer model of baroreflex BP control to simulate normal subjects and heart failure patients. Output variables for various randomly chosen combinations of feedback gains in the baroreflex arms were BP resonance, BP-buffering capacity, and BRS. Our results show that BP buffering and BP resonance are related expressions of baroreflex BP control and depend strongly on the sympathetic gain to the peripheral resistance. BRS is almost uniquely determined by the vagal baroreflex gain to the sinus node. In conclusion, BP buffering and BRS are unrelated unless coupled gains in all baroreflex limbs are assumed. Hence, the clinical benefit of a high BRS is most likely to be attributed to vagal effects on the heart instead of to effective BP buffering. 相似文献

Sympathovagal balance and baroreflex control of heart rate (HR) were evaluated during the development (1 and 4 wk) of one-kidney, one-clip (1K1C) hypertension in conscious mice. The development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis was also examined. Overall variability of systolic arterial pressure (AP) and HR in the time domain and baroreflex sensitivity were calculated from basal recordings. Methyl atropine and propranolol allowed the evaluation of the sympathovagal balance to the heart and the intrinsic HR. Staining of renal ANG II in the kidney and plasma renin activity (PRA) were also evaluated. One and four weeks after clipping, the mice were hypertensive and tachycardic, and they exhibited elevated sympathetic and reduced vagal tone. The intrinsic HR was elevated only 1 wk after clipping. Systolic AP variability was elevated, while HR variability and baroreflex sensitivity were reduced 1 and 4 wk after clipping. Renal ANG II staining and PRA were elevated only 1 wk after clipping. Concentric cardiac hypertrophy was observed at 1 and 4 wk, while cardiac fibrosis was observed only at 4 wk after clipping. In conclusion, these data further support previous findings in the literature and provide new features of neurohumoral changes during the development of 1K1C hypertension in mice. In addition, the 1K1C hypertensive model in mice can be an important tool for studies evaluating the role of specific genes relating to dependent and nondependent ANG II hypertension in transgenic mice. 相似文献

The effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of angiotensin II (ANG II) on blood pressure and water intake were examined with the use of ANG II receptor-deficient mice. ICV injection of ANG II increased systolic blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner in wild-type (WT) mice and ANG type 2 AT(2) receptor null (knockout) (AT(2)KO) mice; however, this increase was significantly greater in AT(2)KO mice than in WT mice. The pressor response to a central injection of ANG II in WT mice was inhibited by ICV preinjection of the selective AT(1) receptor blocker valsartan but exaggerated by the AT(2) receptor blocker PD-123319. ICV injection of ANG II also increased water intake. It was partly but significantly suppressed both in AT(2)KO and AT(1)aKO mice. Water intake in AT(2)/AT(1)aKO mice did not respond to ICV injection of ANG II. Both valsartan and PD-123319 partly inhibited water intake in WT mice. These results indicate an antagonistic action between central AT(1)a and AT(2) receptors in the regulation of blood pressure, but they act synergistically in the regulation of water intake induced by ANG II. 相似文献

Different season trainings may influence autonomic and non-autonomic cardiac control of heart rate and provokes specific adaptations on heart’s structure in athletes. We investigated the influence of transition training (TT) and competitive training (CT) on resting heart rate, its mechanisms of control, spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and relationships between heart rate mechanisms and cardiac structure in professional cyclists (N = 10). Heart rate (ECG) and arterial blood pressure (Pulse Tonometry) were recorded continuously. Autonomic blockade was performed (atropine—0.04 mg.kg-1; esmolol—500 μg.kg-1 = 0.5 mg). Vagal effect, intrinsic heart rate, parasympathetic (n) and sympathetic (m) modulations, autonomic influence, autonomic balance and BRS were calculated. Plasma norepinephrine (high-pressure liquid chromatography) and cardiac structure (echocardiography) were evaluated. Resting heart rate was similar in TT and CT. However, vagal effect, intrinsic heart rate, autonomic influence and parasympathetic modulation (higher n value) decreased in CT (P≤0.05). Sympathetic modulation was similar in both trainings. The autonomic balance increased in CT but still showed parasympathetic predominance. Cardiac diameter, septum and posterior wall thickness and left ventricular mass also increased in CT (P<0.05) as well as diastolic function. We observed an inverse correlation between left ventricular diastolic diameter, septum and posterior wall thickness and left ventricular mass with intrinsic heart rate. Blood pressure and BRS were similar in both trainings. Intrinsic heart rate mechanism is predominant over vagal effect during CT, despite similar resting heart rate. Preserved blood pressure levels and BRS during CT are probably due to similar sympathetic modulation in both trainings. 相似文献

Although ANG II exerts a variety of effects on the cardiovascular system, its effects on the peripheral parasympathetic neurotransmission have only been evaluated by changes in heart rate (an effect on the sinus node). To elucidate the effect of ANG II on the parasympathetic neurotransmission in the left ventricle, we measured myocardial interstitial ACh release in response to vagal stimulation (1 ms, 10 V, 20 Hz) using cardiac microdialysis in anesthetized cats. In a control group (n = 6), vagal stimulation increased the ACh level from 0.85 +/- 0.03 to 10.7 +/- 1.0 (SE) nM. Intravenous administration of ANG II at 10 microg x kg(-1) x h(-1) suppressed the stimulation-induced ACh release to 7.5 +/- 0.6 nM (P < 0.01). In a group with pretreatment of intravenous ANG II receptor subtype 1 (AT(1) receptor) blocker losartan (10 mg/kg, n = 6), ANG II was unable to inhibit the stimulation-induced ACh release (8.6 +/- 1.5 vs. 8.4 +/- 1.7 nM). In contrast, in a group with local administration of losartan (10 mM, n = 6) through the dialysis probe, ANG II inhibited the stimulation-induced ACh release (8.0 +/- 0.8 vs. 5.8 +/- 1.0 nM, P < 0.05). In conclusion, intravenous ANG II significantly inhibited the parasympathetic neurotransmission through AT(1) receptors. The failure of local losartan administration to nullify the inhibitory effect of ANG II on the stimulation-induced ACh release indicates that the site of this inhibitory action is likely at parasympathetic ganglia rather than at postganglionic vagal nerve terminals. 相似文献

The delay τ between rising systolic blood pressure (SBP) and baroreflex bradycardia has been found to increase when vagal tone is low. The α(2)-agonist clonidine increases cardiac vagal tone, and this study tested how it affects τ. In eight conscious supine human volunteers clonidine (6 μg/kg po) reduced τ, assessed both by cross correlation baroreflex sensitivity and sequence methods (both P < 0.05). Experiments on urethane-anaesthetized rats reproduced the phenomenon and investigated the underlying mechanism. Heart rate (HR) responses to increasing SBP produced with an arterial balloon catheter showed reduced τ (P < 0.05) after clonidine (100 μg/kg iv). The central latency of the reflex was unaltered, however, as shown by the unchanged timing with which antidromically identified cardiac vagal motoneurons (CVM) responded to the arterial pulse. Testing the latency of the HR response to brief electrical stimuli to the right vagus showed that this was also unchanged by clonidine. Nevertheless, vagal stimuli delivered at a fixed time in the cardiac cycle (triggered from the ECG R-wave) slowed HR with a 1-beat delay in the baseline state but a 0-beat delay after clonidine (n = 5, P < 0.05). This was because clonidine lengthened the diastolic period, allowing the vagal volleys to arrive at the heart just in time to postpone the next beat. Calculations indicate that naturally generated CVM volleys in both humans and rats arrive around this critical time. Clonidine thus reduces τ not by changing central or efferent latencies but simply by slowing the heart. 相似文献

Little is known about baroreflex control of renal nerve sympathetic activity (RSNA) or the effect of angiotensin II (ANG II) on the baroreflex in diabetes. We examined baroreflex control of RSNA and heart rate (HR) in conscious, chronically instrumented rats 2 wk after citrate vehicle (normal) or 55 mg/kg iv streptozotocin (diabetic) before and after losartan (5 mg/kg iv) or enalapril (2.5 mg/kg iv). Resting HR and RSNA were lower in diabetic versus normal rats. The range of baroreflex control of HR and the gain of baroreflex-mediated bradycardia were impaired in diabetic rats. Maximum gain was unchanged. The baroreflex control of RSNA was reset to lower pressures in the diabetic rats but remained otherwise unchanged. Losartan decreased mean arterial pressure (MAP) and increased HR and RSNA in both groups but had no influence on the baroreflex. Enalapril decreased MAP only in normal rats, yet the increase in HR and RSNA was similar in both groups. Thus in diabetic rats enalapril produced a pressure-independent increase in HR and RSNA. Enalapril exerted no effect on the baroreflex control of HR or RSNA in either group. These data indicate that in conscious rats resting RSNA is lower but baroreflex control of RSNA is preserved after 2 wk of diabetes. At this time, the baroreflex control of HR is already impaired and blockade of endogenous ANG II does not improve this dysfunction. 相似文献

Spontaneous baroreflex control of pulse interval (PI) was assessed in healthy volunteers under thermoneutral and heat stress conditions. Subjects rested in the supine position with their lower legs in a water bath at 34 degrees C. Heat stress was imposed by increasing the bath temperature to 44 degrees C. Arterial blood pressure (Finapres), PI (ECG), esophageal and skin temperature, and stroke volume were continuously collected during each 5-min experimental stage. Spontaneous baroreflex function was evaluated by multiple techniques, including 1) the mean slope of the linear relationship between PI and systolic blood pressure (SBP) with three or more simultaneous increasing or decreasing sequences, 2) the linear relationship between changes in PI and SBP (deltaPI/DeltaSBP) derived by using the first differential equation, 3) the linear relationship between changes in PI and SBP with simultaneously increasing or decreasing sequences (+deltaPI/+deltaSBP or -deltaPI/-deltaSBP), and 4) transfer function analysis. Heat stress increased esophageal temperature by 0.6 +/- 0.1 degrees C, decreased PI from 1,007 +/- 43 to 776 +/- 37 ms and stroke volume by 16 +/- 5 ml/beat. Heat stress reduced baroreflex sensitivity but increased the incidence of baroreflex slopes from 5.2 +/- 0.8 to 8.6 +/- 0.9 sequences per 100 heartbeats. Baroreflex sensitivity was significantly correlated with PI or vagal power (r2 = 0.45, r2 = 0.71, respectively; P < 0.05). However, the attenuation in baroreflex sensitivity during heat stress appeared related to a shift in autonomic balance (shift in resting PI) rather than heat stress per se. 相似文献
