Abstract：
:The presence of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-immunoreactive cells and melanocortin (MC) receptors (MC4 and to a lesser extent MC3) has been demonstrated in the medullary reticular formation in the general area where rostral ventrolateral medullary pressor area (RVLM) is located. The importance of RVLM in the regulation of cardiovascular function is well established. Based on these reports, it was hypothesized that ACTH may play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular function. To test this hypothesis, experiments were carried out on artificially ventilated, adult male, urethane-anesthetized and unanesthetized mid-collicular decerebrate rats. The RVLM was identified by microinjections (100 nl) of L-glutamate (L-Glu). Microinjections (100 nl) of ACTH (0.5, 1 and 2 mmol/l) into the RVLM elicited increases in MAP and HR; tachycardic responses were relatively inconsistent. The effects of ACTH were blocked by SHU9119 and agouti-related protein (AGRP). SHU9119 (a synthetic compound) and AGRP (an endogenous peptide) are antagonists for MC4, and to a lesser extent MC3, receptors. The specificity of these antagonists for MC receptors was indicated by their lack of effect on l-Glu responses. Microinjection of ACTH into the RVLM increased the efferent discharge in the greater splanchnic nerve. It was concluded that (1) ACTH exerts excitatory effects on RVLM neurons resulting in pressor and tachycardic responses, (2) these responses were mediated via MC4 and to a lesser extent MC3 receptors in the RVLM, and (3) the pressor effects of ACTH were mediated via sympathetic activation. This is the first report showing central cardiovascular actions of ACTH.
