Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A single intracerebroventricular injection of 10 ng of the mineralocorticoid aldosterone in normotensive male Wistar rats induced a transient increase in blood pressure. Corticosterone produced this response only at a 100-fold higher dose. In contrast, a decrease in systolic blood pressure occurred following the intracerebroventricular administration of a selective glucocorticoid agonist (Ru 28362; 10 ng). The intracerebroventricular administration in normotensive and adrenalectomized, corticosterone-replaced, male rats of an antimineralocorticoid (Ru 28318; 10 ng) decreased systolic blood pressure, while an antiglucocorticoid (Ru 38486; 10 ng) caused an increase. These data suggest that adrenal steroids affect central mechanisms underlying cardiovascular regulation by binding to central mineralo- and glucocorticoid receptors.
