Abstract
Aim: To study the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM) on cardiovascular responses in cats.
Methods: The stereotatic technique and microinjection method were used.
Results: ET-1 (4 mumol.L-1 0.5 microL) microinjected into rVLM induced mean arterial pressure (MAP) increasing (3.7 +/- 1.3) kPa, heart rate (HR) accelerating (29 +/- 7) beats.min-1, and renal nerve activity (RNA) intensifying 45% +/- 10%. The effects were dose-dependent. Before and after bilateral vagotomy, there was no significant difference in the reaction of MAP, HR, and RNA. After intravenous injection with phentolamine (5 mg.kg-1, alpha-blocker), ET-1 did not induce significant change of MAP. ET-1 raised the content of peripheral plasma argipressin (Arg) from (12.4 +/- 6.5) to (70.3 +/- 24.2) ng.L-1 with radioimmunoassay, and showed a correlation with MAP changes. ET-1 induced heart rhythm disorder (HRhD) in acute myocardiac ischemia, the occur time of HRhD was (4.8 +/- 2.9) min, and the score was 4.4 +/- 1.6, and it was significantly different from control.
Conclusion: ET-1 microinjected into rVLM could involve with control regulation of cardiovascular and sympathetic nerve activity.
