Intracerebroventricular metformin attenuates salt-induced hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Abstract:

:The aim of this study was to examine the effects of long-term continuous intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion of metformin on blood pressure (BP) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). To accelerate the development of hypertension, SHR were fed a 8% NaCl diet during the 3-week study period. Metformin was given in the following doses: 0 (isotonic saline; n = 7), 25 (n = 8), 50 (n = 6), 100 (n = 6), and 200 microg/day icv (n = 5). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were measured by radiotelemetry, and as a measure of the contribution of sympathetic nerve activity to BP, the decrease in MAP in response to ganglionic blockade with hexamethonium, 30 mg/kg iv, was determined once weekly. In vehicle treated rats, MAP increased by 27+/-4 mm Hg, whereas in rats treated with a low dose of metformin (25 microg/day), MAP increased only by 7+/-3 mm Hg (P < .01). The hypotensive response to hexamethonium was attenuated by all doses of metformin suggesting that chronic icv metformin decreased central sympathetic outflow. The highest doses of metformin (100 and 200 microg/day) also prevented development of hypertension, but these doses were highly neurotoxic as demonstrated by histologic evaluation post mortem. Fast-Fourier transformation of MAP revealed increased variability within the 0.15 to 0.6 Hz frequency range in rats treated with neurotoxic doses of metformin, suggesting impaired sympathetic control of BP in these animals. In conclusion, long-term icv infusion with apparently nontoxic doses of metformin attenuates hypertension and decreases the hypotensive responses to ganglionic blockade in SHR, suggesting a centrally elicited sympathoinhibitory action.
