The cardiovascular effects of centrally administered taurine in anaesthetised and conscious rats.

Abstract:

:The effects of pentobarbitone anaesthesia on the cardiovascular changes induced by centrally administered taurine have been investigated in spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive rats. Administration of taurine (100-400 micrograms) into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) of anaesthetised SHR and normotensive rats induced a dose-related fall in systemic blood pressure and heart rate, which tended to be of a greater magnitude in the SHR. In anaesthetised rats attached to a ventilator, taurine was not as potent at inducing a fall in systemic blood pressure, approximately double the dose being required to produce the same cardiovascular changes as that which occurred in anaesthetised rats without a ventilator. In conscious normotensive rats taurine had no effect on blood pressure until a dose of 800 micrograms was administered i.c.v., whereas in conscious SHR, a small, but significant depressor response was evident with 400 micrograms. These findings demonstrate that pentobarbitone anaesthesia sensitises the rats to the cardiovascular effects of taurine, partially through a mechanism which involves respiratory depression. Conversely in conscious rats a much higher dose of taurine is required to induce a fall in arterial pressure and heart rate per se.
