Abstract：
:The diagonal band of Broca (dbB) is involved in central cardiovascular control. In the present study we compared the effects of microinjections of L-glutamate into the dbB of unanesthetized rats with those observed after the injection of L-glutamate into the same area in urethane-anesthetized rats. The microinjection of L-glutamate (10, 30, 100 or 200 nmol/200 nl) into the dbB of urethane-anesthetized rats caused dose-related short-lasting depressor responses The depressor responses to L-glutamate were accompanied by dose-related heart rate reduction. The cardiovascular response to the injection of L-glutamate (10, 30 or 100 nmol/200 nl) into the dbB of unanesthetized rats was characterized as a long-lasting pressor response without consistent heart rate changes. The pressor response was dose-related and presented an ED(50) of approximately 30 nmol/200 nl. The fact that the chemical stimulation of the dbB with L-glutamate caused only dose-related pressor responses in unanesthetized rats suggests that under normal conditions the dbB is predominantly a pressor area. After the characterization of the pressor response to L-glutamate microinjected into the dbB of unanesthetized rats we studied the mechanisms involved in the mediation of these responses. The pressor response to L-glutamate (30 nmol/200 nl) into the dbB was blocked by intravenous pretreatment with the vasopressin antagonist dTyr(CH(2))(5)(Me)AVP (50 microg/kg), suggesting the involvement of circulating vasopressin in this response. Further evidence of the involvement of the endocrine vasopressin system in the pressor response to L-glutamate injected into the dbB was provided by hypophysectomy since L-glutamate (30 nmol/200 nl) microinjection into the dbB of hypophysectomized rats caused only depressor responses. We presently report that chemical stimulation of the dbB with L-glutamate caused only pressor responses in unanesthetized rats that were mediated by vasopressin release into the systemic circulation. Additionally, the results confirmed the existence of an L-glutamate-sensitive depressor system in the dbB, which is predominant in urethane-anesthetized rats or may be evidenced in unanesthetized hypophysectomized rats.
