Abstract:
:The effect of changes in carotid sinus perfusion pressure on plasma immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (IR-ANP) was examined in anaesthetized rabbits, and the role of arterial pressure in mediating the changes in IR-ANP was assessed. Plasma IR-ANP was significantly greater (101.7 +/- 24.3 pg ml-1) when carotid sinus pressure was 60 mmHg than when it was 160 mmHg (27.1 +/- 8.6 pg ml-1). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was significantly greater when carotid sinus pressure was controlled at 60 mmHg compared to when it was 160 mmHg, but right atrial pressure (RAP) was not significantly different at the two carotid sinus pressures. The administration of hexamethonium attenuated the changes in MAP and heart rate (HR) which occurred in response to alterations in carotid sinus pressure, and abolished the change in plasma IR-ANP. The results suggest that an inverse relationship exists between carotid sinus pressure and plasma IR-ANP, and that the release of ANP in response to a reduction of carotid sinus pressure is mediated by the associated haemodynamic changes.
