Abstract:
:Intravenous injections of neurotensin (NT) (0.5, 1 and 2 nmoles kg-1) evoked dose-dependent increases in histaminemia and hematocrit, and marked hypotensive effect, in anesthetized rats. The increase of plasma histamine was rapid in onset (within sec), peak plasma histamine being reached in less than 2 min. The decline of plasma histamine was gradual and almost complete 15 min after injection of NT. The hematocrit increased slowly, maximum values being obtained 5-10 min after injection of NT, and it persisted throughout the period of observation. The hypotensive effect of NT was rapid in onset and of prolonged duration. Compound 48/80, a well known histamine liberator and mast cell depletor, produced variations of blood pressure, of hematocrit and of plasma histamine very similar to those elicited by NT. Pretreatment of rats with cromoglycate, a well known mast cell stabilizer, or with dexamethasone, inhibited markedly the changes of histaminemia, of hematocrit and of blood pressure evoked by NT and compound 48/80. The results clearly suggest that the effects of NT on blood pressure and on vascular permeability in rats are mediated to some extent by mast cell histamine. Hexamethonium, a ganglion blocker, inhibited slightly the effect of NT on histaminemia but it did not block NT-induced changes of hematocrit. However, the hypotensive effect of NT was severely blocked in hexamethonium-treated rats. These results were interpretated as an indication that hexamethonium prevents NT-induced hypotension not merely by reducing the mobilization of mast cell histamine by NT but most likely by interfering with the mechanism by which NT and/or its mast cell mediators produce their effects on blood pressure.
