In male rats under anaesthesia, dialysis of the venous blood from sella turcica region was carried out. Vasopressin and oxytocin content was determined in the dialysates by radioimmunoassay. The obtained results indicate that: 1. Electrical stimulation of the superior cervical ganglion causes an increase in vasopressin and oxytocin release. 2. 20 days after superior cervical ganglionectomy the vasopressin and oxytocin release increased. 3. Superior cervical ganglionectomy immediately before the dialysis evoked a several times increase in vasopressin and oxytocin release. 4. Application of alpha1-blocker, prazosin, as well beta-blocker, propranolol, has partially prevented the increase in vasopressin release which was found immediately after superior cervical ganglionectomy. 5. Contrary to vasopressin, the increase in oxytocin release after superior cervical ganglionectomy is completely prevented by the beta-blocker, propranolol, and only partially by the alpha1-blocker, prazosin.  相似文献

The roles of arginine vasopressin (AVP), the sympathetic nervous system, and the renin-angiotensin system in maintaining elevated blood pressure in established DOC-salt hypertension in rats were studied by injection of specific antagonists of these systems. The specific AVP antagonist dPVDAVP decreased blood pressure by 19 +/- 3 mm Hg in hypertensive rats and 6 +/- 2 mm Hg in control rats. In a different group of rats ganglionic blockade with chlorisondamine also caused a greater decrease in blood pressure in DOC-salt rats compared to controls (99 +/- 6 vs 58 +/- 4 mm Hg, respectively). In rats with autonomic ganglia blocked subsequent vasopressin antagonism decreased blood pressure 29 +/- 4 mm Hg in DOC-salt rats and 14 +/- 2 mm Hg in control rats. Converting enzyme inhibition with captopril in rats with autonomic ganglia blocked caused a lesser decrease in blood pressure in DOC-salt rats than in controls (8 +/- 2 vs 14 +/- 2 mm Hg, respectively). These results indicate that both AVP and the sympathetic nervous system contribute to the maintenance of DOC-salt hypertension. The renin-angiotension system appears to be relatively less important.  相似文献

Insulin excess exacerbates hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). This study examined the relative contribution of the renin-angiotensin system and the sympathetic nervous system in this phenomenon. In SHR, daily subcutaneous injections of insulin were initiated either before short-term angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition with captopril or after lifetime captopril treatment. Insulin treatment resulted in significant increases in mean arterial pressure and heart rate and captopril treatment lowered arterial pressure, but captopril did not lower arterial pressure more in the insulin-treated compared with control rats. To test the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to this form of hypertension, each rat was intravenously infused with either a ganglionic blocker (i.e., hexamethonium) or a centrally acting alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist (i.e., clonidine). Administration of either agent largely eliminated the differences in mean arterial pressure and heart rate between the insulin-treated and saline-treated SHR, irrespective of captopril treatment. These data indicate that in SHR, the ability of insulin to increase blood pressure is closely related to sympathoexcitation, which is unresponsive to blockade of angiotensin-converting enzyme.  相似文献

Accumulating evidence suggests that the sympathetic nervous system modulates inflammatory responses and bone remodeling. We have studied the effects of sympathectomy and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) on root resorption, immunocompetent cell recruitment, neuropeptide, neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1-R), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) expression. Experimental rats (n=8) had the right superior cervical ganglion surgically removed, whereas control rats (n=6) underwent sham surgery. Three days later, all rats had the right maxillary first molar moved mesially by an orthodontic appliance. The rats were perfused 13 days later, and the right maxillae were processed for immunohistochemistry by using primary antibodies directed against ED1 antigen, CD43, substance P (SP), NK1-R, neuropeptide Y (NPY), and IL-6. Following OTM, sympathectomized (SCGx) rats had significantly more root resorption (P<0.01) and SP-immunoreactive (IR) fibers (P=0.01) in the compressed periodontal ligament (PDL) compared with control rats. There was a significant decrease in recruitment of CD43+ cells in the pulp after OTM in SCGx rats compared with control rats (P=0.02). An upregulation of NK1-R immunoreactivity was observed surrounding the hyalinized tissue, and an increase in the number of NK1-R IR cells and density of SP-IR fibers was present in first molar pulp of all rats. NPY-IR fibers were absent in the compressed PDL of SCGx and control rats. Thus, OTM induces remodeling not only around the periodontal tissues, but also in the dental pulp. The sympathetic nerves have an inhibitory effect on hard tissue resorption and a stimulatory effect on CD43+ cell recruitment after OTM.This study was supported by the Norwegian Research Council  相似文献

The effects of Wallerian degeneration of the peripheral sympathetic neurons projecting to the hypothalamus on the mechanism of interaction between prolactin and substance P (SP) were examined. The effects of superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCGx) on SP content in various hypothalamic regions and in the hypophysis were evaluated in control and hyperprolactinemic rats. Male rats that received pituitary transplants at the age of 5 days and age-matched sham-operated controls were used. Pituitary grafting significantly increased circulating values of prolactin, as did SCGx. In hyperprolactinemic rats, SCGx partially decreased plasma prolactin levels. Neonatal hyperprolactinemia decreased SP content in the anterior (AH) and posterior (PH) hypothalamus and in the median eminence (ME), but increased it in the mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH). Acute SCGx significantly increased SP in the MBH, PH, and ME. SCGx in hyperprolactinemic animals further increased SP content in MBH. In the ME and Ah, SCGx in pituitary grafted rats decreased SP content as compared with the controls. In the pituitary gland (PG), SCGx only decreased SP content in hyperprolactinemic, but not in control rats. An interaction between peripheral nor-adrenergic neurons and prolactin to regulate SP within the hypothalamus was positive in the MBH, AH, ME, and PG, but not in the PH. These data indicate the existence of interactive mechanisms between prolactin and the peripheral sympathetic neurons to regulate SP content at the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Interrelationships between prolactin and SP were also observed.  相似文献

Adenosine was shown to inhibit norepinephrine (NE) release from sympathetic nerve endings. The purpose of this study was to examine whether endogenous adenosine restrains NE and epinephrine release from the adrenal medulla. The effects of an adenosine receptor antagonist, 1,3-dipropyl-8-(p-sulfophenyl) xanthine (DPSPX), on epinephrine and NE release induced by intravenous administration of insulin in conscious rats were examined. Plasma catecholamines were measured by HPLC with an electrochemical detector. DPSPX significantly increased plasma catecholamine in both control rats and rats treated with insulin. The effect of DPSPX on plasma catecholamine was significantly greater in rats treated with insulin. Additional experiments were performed in adrenalectomized rats to investigate the contribution of the adrenal medulla to the effect of DPSPX on plasma catecholamine. The effect of DPSPX and insulin on epinephrine in adrenalectomized rats was significantly reduced compared with that of the controls. Finally, we tested whether endogenous adenosine restrains catecholamine secretion partially through inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. The effect of DPSPX on plasma catecholamine in rats pretreated with captopril (an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) was reduced. These results demonstrate that under basal physiological conditions, endogenous adenosine tonically inhibits catecholamine secretion from the adrenal medulla, and this effect is augmented when the sympathetic system is stimulated. The effect of endogenous adenosine on catecholamine secretion from the adrenal medulla is achieved partially through the inhibitory effect of adenosine on the renin-angiotensin system.  相似文献

The release of luteal oxytocin during spontaneous and prostaglandin-induced luteolysis was investigated in cows. A continuous-flow microdialysis system was used in 11 cows to collect dialysates of the luteal extracellular space between Days 12 and 24 postestrus. Seven cows were untreated and were expected to exhibit spontaneous luteolysis during sampling, whereas 4 cows received prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) systemically between Days 13 and 15 to induce luteolysis during sampling. Oxytocin was detectable in the dialysate of all cows before Day 16 postestrus and occurred as 2 or 3 discrete pulses per 12-h sampling period. For non-PGF(2alpha)-treated cows, dialysate oxytocin content began to decline spontaneously on Day 15 postestrus and was undetectable by Day 17 postestrus. Oxytocin decay curves preceded onset of serum progesterone decline by at least 72 h and were not related temporally with onset of progesterone decline within cow. Exogenous PGF(2alpha) (25 mg, i.m.) produced a 10-fold increase in dialysate oxytocin within 1 h (1.9 +/- 0.3 pg/ml to 20.8 +/- 3.0 pg/ml; P < 0. 01). Dialysate oxytocin then declined to pretreatment concentrations within 2 h and was undetectable within 8 h posttreatment. A second PGF(2alpha) injection given 20 h after the first did not result in a measurable increase in dialysate oxytocin, probably because luteolysis was underway. Although robust luteal oxytocin release was observed after treatment with a pharmacological dose of PGF(2alpha), the lack of detectable oxytocin secretion during spontaneous luteolysis suggests that the contribution of luteal oxytocin in the cow may be less than that proposed for the ewe.  相似文献

While studying the effect of peroral captopril injections on the activity of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin II content from anterior and mediobasal hypothalamus, medulla and adenohypophysis of intact rats has been established to decrease. Captopril administration decreases ACE activity which increases after hydrocortisone injection in rat medulla and striatum. Captopril results in no potentiation of hormonal effect in hypothalamus and in adenohypophysis where ACE activity decreases following hydrocortisone injection. A decrease in the RAS activity of brain structures and adenohypophysis induced by captopril administration to rats is accompanied by the inhibition of the activity in the pituitary-adrenal system. A decrease in ACTH level and in 11-hydroxycorticosteroids of the rat blood plasma has been determined after single captopril injection in the dosage of 10 and 50 mg/kg of body weight. Duration of the effect depends on the captopril dosage.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of continuous angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) blockade in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (sp-SHR) on the renin-angiotensin system and on sympathetic activity. The pressor response to angiotensin II (AII) and norepinephrine (NE) were also examined after chronic blockade of ACE and compared to that of saline-treated controls. Captopril treatment had no effect on body weight. Serum ACE was significantly reduced on day 1; an effect that persisted through day 6 and day 10. Plasma renin activity (PRA) was elevated significantly on day 1 and remained at this high level throughout the 10 day observation period. Plasma NE was not altered by the chronic ACE blockade except on day 1, where there was a slight elevation of plasma NE in both groups. Pressor responses to AII and NE were not changed after chronic captopril treatment. It is observed that chronic inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system with captopril in sp-SHR resulted in a reduction of blood pressure, reduced serum ACE activity and elevated PRA. The constant plasma NE levels suggest that chronic inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system does not affect sympathetic activity. This study also indicates that long term inhibition of ACE does not alter pressor responses to either AII or NE.  相似文献

All elements of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are present in the forebrain, particularly in circumventricular organs surrounding the third cerebral ventricle. We tested the hypothesis that forebrain angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has a tonic excitatory influence on sympathetic drive. Neurally intact and sinoaortic-denervated pentobarbital-anesthetized rats were treated with forebrain-directed intracarotid artery (ICA) versus intravenous injections of angiotensin I (ANG I) and of the ACE inhibitor captopril. In intact rats, ICA ANG I elicited a rise in arterial pressure and a concomitant reduction in renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA; ICA captopril elicited the opposite responses). In barodenervated rats, ICA ANG I increased and ICA captopril decreased arterial pressure and RSNA in parallel; intravenous ANG I had no effect on RSNA. The findings suggest that the intrinsic forebrain RAS has a tonic excitatory influence on sympathetic drive that is overshadowed in normal rats by baroreflex mechanisms, but may assume a more prominent role in pathophysiological states (e.g., heart failure) in which baroreflex mechanisms are impaired and RAS activity is augmented.  相似文献

Seven bilaterally ovariectomized heifers were used in 4 experiments and received: (1) saline injections, as control; (2) one injection of oestradiol (3 mg; i.v.); (3) two i.v. injections of oxytocin (100 i.u.) 6 h apart; or (4) one oestradiol injection 30 min after the first oxytocin injection and a second oxytocin injection 6 h later. All experiments were performed without progesterone and then after 7, 14 and 21 days of progesterone treatment. Frequent blood samples were taken for 1 h before and 7 h after the first injection of oxytocin or oestradiol for the measurement of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF-2 alpha (PGFM) by radioimmunoassay. After 7, 14 and 21 days of progesterone priming, oestradiol caused a significant increase (P less than 0.001) in plasma PGFM after 6 h but not before. After 7, 14 and 21 days of progesterone, there was a significant increase (P less than 0.005) in PGFM after the first oxytocin injection and a similar increase following the second. The oxytocin-induced increase in PGFM after 14 and 21 days of progesterone was significantly higher (P less than 0.001) 6 h after oestradiol injection than before the oestradiol injection. There was no significant effect of oestradiol on the response to oxytocin in animals that received no progesterone or in those animals that received progesterone for only 7 days. These results show that, under the influence of progesterone, oestradiol enhances the oxytocin-induced release of PGF-2 alpha, and suggest a possible synergistic action of these hormones for the induction of luteolysis in heifers.  相似文献

Changes in captopril sensitivity as a result of coronary embolization by 15 um microspheres were studied in rats. Selective coronary embolization was produced by injection of microspheres into the left ventricle during ascending aorta occlusion. The hemodynamic data were examined in conscious rats 21 days after embolization or sham operation before and after captopril bolus injection (1 mg/kg) by using microspheres method. Captopril injection caused a significant increase of the blood flow in the heart, kidneys, skin and some intestinal organs.  相似文献

Abstract: The levels of several neurochemicals, i.e., uric acid (UA), dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, collected daily from the rat striatum with either fixed or removable microdialysis probes for 7 days after surgery were compared. The implantation of the fixed cannula was followed by a 10-fold increase in the UA content in the dialysates collected from the first day after surgery onward and by a steady decrease in dihydroxyphenylacetic acid levels, whereas those of DA remained fairly stable. With the removable cannula system, only a smaller, transient increase in UA during the first 3 days after surgery was observed, with no change in DA or monoamine metabolites. The glial reaction around the cannula tracks was assessed by both quantitative histological techniques and measuring the glutamine levels in the dialysates collected at the time of surgery and 7 days later. Both the glial cell number and nuclear size, as well as the glutamine outflow, were considerably larger in the animals implanted with the fixed probes. It is, therefore, likely that the UA levels in the dialysate reflect the glial reaction to the probe. The suitability of the removable probe system for behavioral experiments involving repeated microdialysis sampling was illustrated in an experiment showing that the DA release in the nucleus accumbens of male rats assessed daily at postsurgery days 5–10 was virtually identical in three alternating sessions of sexual behavior as was the smaller release of this neurotransmitter detected during intervening nonsexual social interactions.  相似文献

The sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin system are both thought to contribute to the development and maintenance of hypertension in experimental models such as the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). We demonstrated that periarterial nerve stimulation (NS) increased the perfusion pressure (PP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) overflow from perfused mesenteric arterial beds of SHRs at 4-6, 10-12, and 18-20 wk of age, which correspond to prehypertensive, developing hypertensive, and maintained hypertensive stages, respectively, in the SHR. NS also increased PP and NPY overflow from mesenteric beds of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) normotensive rats. NS-induced increases in PP and NPY were greater in vessels obtained from SHRs of all three ages compared with WKY rats. ANG II produced a greater increase in PP in preparations taken from SHRs than WKY rats. ANG II also resulted in a greater increase in basal NPY overflow from 10- to 12-wk-old and 18- to 20-wk-old SHRs than age-matched WKY rats. ANG II enhanced the NS-induced overflow of NPY from SHR preparations more than WKY controls at all ages studied. The enhancement of NS-induced NPY overflow by ANG II was blocked by the AT1 receptor antagonist EMD-66684 and the angiotensin type 2 receptor antagonist PD-123319. In contrast, ANG II greatly enhanced norepinephrine overflow in the presence of PD-123319. Both captopril and EMD-66684 decreased neurotransmitter overflow from SHR mesenteric beds; therefore, we conclude that an endogenous renin-angiotensin system is active in this preparation. It is concluded that the ANG II-induced enhancement of sympathetic nerve stimulation may contribute to the development and maintenance of hypertension in the SHR.  相似文献

A chromosome 1 blood pressure quantitative trait locus (QTL) was introgressed from the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) to Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. This congenic strain (WKYpch1.0) showed an exaggerated pressor response to both restraint and cold stress. In this study, we evaluated cardiovascular and sympathetic response to an air-jet stress and also examined the role of the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the stress response of WKYpch1.0. We measured mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) responses to air-jet stress in WKYpch1.0, WKY, and SHRSP. We also examined effects of intracerebroventricular administration of candesartan, an ANG II type 1 receptor blocker, on MAP and HR responses to air-jet stress. Baseline MAP in the WKYpch1.0 and WKY rats were comparable, while it was lower than that in SHRSP rats. Baseline HR did not differ among the strains. In WKYpch1.0, air-jet stress caused greater increase in MAP and RSNA than in WKY. The increase in RSNA was as large as that in SHRSP, whereas the increase in MAP was smaller than in SHRSP. Intracerebroventricular injection of a nondepressor dose of candesartan inhibited the stress-induced pressor response to a greater extent in WKYpch1.0 than in WKY. Intravenous injection of phenylephrine caused a presser effect comparable between WKYpch1.0 and WKY. These results suggest that the chromosome 1 blood pressure QTL congenic rat has a sympathetic hyperreactivity to an air-jet stress, which causes exaggerated pressor responses. The exaggerated response is at least partly mediated by the brain RAS.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was, to investigate the effects of oxytocin administration on Day 7 post-ovulation on progesterone secretion, pregnancy rate and embryonic growth in mares. Endogenous stimulation of oxytocin release was compared to the administration of native oxytocin or the long-acting oxytocin analogue carbetocin. At Day 7 after ovulation, mares had to undergo four treatments in a crossover design: (a) control, (b) oxytocin (10 IU i.v.), (c) carbetocin (280 microg i.m.) and (d) cervical dilation. On Day 13, all mares (8 of 8 mares) were pregnant on groups control, oxytocin and carbetocin and only 6 of 8 mares on group dilation. In one mare uterine fluid accumulation and uterine edema from Day 6 to 13 and early embryonic death by Day 11 occurred during dilation treatment. Another mare, which did not become pregnant during dilation treatment, developed uterine fluid accumulation and uterine edema from Day 10 to 14. Mean growth rates of the conceptuses did not differ among treatment groups and individual growth rates varied in a wide range from -0.1 to 0.8 cm per day. At Day 13, mean diameters of conceptuses yielded 1.4+/-0.1 cm in control group, 1.5+/-0.1 in oxytocin and carbetocin group and 1.3+/-0.2 cm in dilation group. Secretion of progesterone was not affected by treatments. Administration of oxytocin and carbetocin caused similar maximum plasma concentrations of oxytocin, but onset and duration of peaks differed. Maximum concentrations after intramuscular application of carbetocin were obtained almost 20 min later when compared to intravenous administration of oxytocin. Duration of peaks after injection of the long-acting oxytocin analogue was more than three-fold longer than after administration of native oxytocin. In conclusion, the present study showed that single administration of oxytocin or its long-acting analogue carbetocin at Day 7 after ovulation did not affect progesterone secretion, pregnancy rate and embryonic growth. Two possible scenarios concerning the effects of cervical dilation were observed: In the majority of mares, dilation of the caudal half to two-third of the cervical lumen up to a diameter of 4.5 cm had no negative consequences on progesterone secretion and pregnancy outcome. However, cervical dilation caused uterine inflammation and subsequent luteolysis in two mares and early embryonic death in one of them. Thus, manipulation of the cervix itself seems not to have negative impact on success rates of transcervical transfer of embryos in the mare.  相似文献

The experiments were carried out to elucidate the effect of carboxycathepsin (CC) activity inhibition by a specific inhibitor--captopril--on plasma enzyme concentration in normotensive rats and rats with renovascular hypertension. A single oral administration of captopril (10 mg/kg body weight) produced an increase in CC concentration in both hypertensive and sodium-depleted normotensive rats with a parallel decrease in arterial pressure, but had no effect on sodium-repleted normotensive rats. It is suggested that the increase in plasma CC concentration is a compensatory response to the inhibition of CC activity by captopril; it is also possible that the increase observed reflects the state of renin-angiotensin system.  相似文献
