Abstract/OtherAbstract:
LARGE cerebral arteries have been reported to contain angiotensin receptors that are exclusively of the AT2 subtype. We measured the effect of the AT2 receptor selective ligand PD 123319 on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in rats, using laser-doppler flowmetry. PD 123319 (1-10 mg kg-1) dose-dependently inhibited the increase in CBF, when the blood pressure was increased by a norepinephrine infusion. However, PD 123319 did not alter baseline CBF at normal blood pressures. Therefore PD 123319 appears to interfere with the autoregulatory mechanisms of CBF. The participation of AT2 receptors in the regulation of CBF confirms a physiological role for this receptor subtype, and may give clues for future treatment of various cerebrovascular disorders.
