Abstract:The effect of the intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of hypertonic sodium chloride on plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and oxytocin (OT) was evaluated in conscious freely moving rats. A hypertonic or isotonic NaCl solution was injected into the third ventricle. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored and blood samples were collected. I.c.v. injection of the hypertonic solution resulted in a significant increase in mean arterial pressure (105.3 +/- 2.9 mmHg at time 0 to 124.2 +/- 4.4 mmHg at 5 min, P less than 0.01) and heart rate (350.0 +/- 25.0 bpm at time 0 to 420.8 +/- 13.6 bpm at 20 min, P less than 0.01). Plasma OT increased 4-fold over the basal values 5 min after the injection (4.5 +/- 1.1 to 20.1 +/- 3.2 pg/ml, P less than 0.01), while there was no significant change in plasma ANP (37.3 +/- 9.1 to 46.6 +/- 12.6 pg/ml, n.s.). The control injection produced no significant changes in any parameters. These results show that hemodynamic changes are not necessarily associated with alterations in plasma ANP. Furthermore they suggest that central osmoreceptors are not involved in the control of ANP secretion.
