Abstract:
:In urethane-chloralose anesthetized rats, the role of GABA(B) receptor in the commissural subnucleus of the nucleus tractus solitarii (commNTS) on the carotid chemoreceptor reflex was investigated. Microinjection of a GABA(B) agonist baclofen into the commNTS did not have any effects on arterial blood pressure (BP) or respiration (RP), while it attenuated the increases in BP and RP elicited by carotid chemoreceptor stimulation. These effects were blocked by microinjection of a GABA(B) antagonist 2-OH-saclofen into the same site. Prior microinjection of 2-OH-saclofen did not have any effects on the chemoreflex or on resting BP or RP, while the effects of baclofen on the chemoreflex were completely blocked. These results suggest that GABAB receptors are present in the carotid chemoreceptor reflex pathway in commNTS and modulate the chemoreceptor reflex.
