Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that acute hypertension caused by aortic baroreceptor deafferentation (ABD) is the result of sympathetic vasoconstriction. Cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were measured before and after ABD in anesthetized and conscious rats. The role of the sympathetic nervous system in acute ABD-induced hypertension was evaluated by examining the ability of adrenalectomy, adrenal demedullation, guanethidine or combined adrenal demedullation, and guanethidine pretreatment to prevent, and total autonomic blockade to reverse, ABD-induced hypertension. CO did not change significantly after ABD at any time, whereas MAP and TPR increased significantly (P less than 0.05). Only combined adrenal demedullation and guanethidine pretreatment prevented ABD-induced hypertension, and autonomic blockade normalized MAP in ABD rats. Normalization of blood pressure was the result of a decreased TPR. It is concluded that acute ABD-induced hypertension results from vasoconstriction caused by neurally released and/or circulating catecholamines.
