Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The electrical stimulation of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus in anaesthetized rabbits elicited important cardiovascular responses which were mainly characterized by increases in arterial pressure, dP/dtmax, and of the indexes of myocardial oxygen consumption, rate-pressure product (from 34 +/- 2 to 40 +/- 2 mmHg.bpm.10(-3) and triple product (from 102 +/- 12 to 162 +/- 19 mmHg2.s-1.bpm.10(-6). The hemodynamic alterations induced by PVN stimulation were similar to those observed during physical effort and stressful situations. Intracerebroventricular (0.1, 0.3 and 1 microgram.kg-1) or intravenous administration (1, 3 and 10 mg.kg-1) of baclofen, a selective GABAB receptor agonist, induced a dose-related decrease in the peak values of dP/dtmax and of the indexes of myocardial oxygen consumption (rate-pressure and triple products) during the electrical PVN stimulation. After 1 microgram.kg-1 baclofen (i.c.v.), the peak value of the triple product during PVN stimulation was 101 +/- 21 as compared to 149 +/- 15 before treatment. At the 10 mg.kg-1 dose (i.v.), the triple product during stimulation only reached 90 +/- 20 vs. 150 +/- 20 before treatment. These results suggested that a type B GABAergic transmission system is involved in the modulation of central control of the cardiac function. Drugs modulating this system could therefore be designed to blunt the myocardial oxygen demand increases.
