Evidence for a role of nitric oxide in hindlimb vasodilation induced by hypothalamic stimulation in anesthetized rats

Abstract: Electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus produces cardiovascular adjustments consisting of hypertension, tachycardia, visceral vasoconstriction and hindlimb vasodilation. Previous studies have demonstrated that hindlimb vasodilation is due a reduction of sympathetic vasoconstrictor tone and to activation of β 2 -adrenergic receptors by catecholamine release. However, the existence of a yet unidentified vasodilator mechanism has also been proposed. Recent studies have suggested that nitric oxide (NO) may be i… Show more

“…***P<0.001 difference to control HDA stimulation. A possible explanation is that the increase in AP was presumably due to vasoconstriction in mesenteric arteries [4,13] but also partly in consequence of a rise in cardiac output (tachycardia). The increase in AP baseline following suramin or kynurenate microinjected into the NTS was similar to reports in previous studies [35][36][37][38].…”

“…Activation of the hypothalamic defense area (HDA), corresponding to the perifornical hypothalamus [2], increases arterial pressure (AP), heart rate (HR), and vascular conductance to the hindlimb (HVC) in cat [3] and rat [4][5][6]. The increase in vascular conductance is mediated by withdrawal of sympathetic tone and release of epinephrine by the adrenal medulla [5,6].…”

“…Em estudos com ratos anestesiados de Yardley e Hilton (1986,1987 utilizaram a estimulação da HDA para evocar ajustes cardiovasculares com aumento da pressão arterial, aumento da freqüência cardíaca e vasodilatação muscular nos membros posteriores. Estudos mais recentes de (Davisson et al, 1997;Possas et al, 1997;Cravo et al, 2003;Ferreira-Neto et al, 2005) indicam a vasodilatação como resultante de três principais mecanismos: 1) retirada do tônus simpático vasoconstritor, 2) liberação de catecolaminas pela medula da adrenal, 3) liberação de óxido nítrico e fatores nitrosilados.…”

“…Resultados prévios do nosso laboratório indicam que a vasodilatação muscular nos membros posteriores em ratos anestesiado induzida por estimulação elétrica hipotalâmica é abolida após a combinação de adrenalectomia bilateral e infusão sistêmica de fentolamina, seguido pela administração sistêmica de L-NAME, um antagonista competitivo da NOS neuronal e endotelial (Ferreira-Neto et al, 2005).…”
