Abstract:
:Input to the nucleus medianus of the preoptic region has been suggested to be involved in both the drinking and pressor responses elicited by the central administration of angiotensin II. Evidence in support of this suggestion has been gained principally from electrical lesion experiments. This lesion procedure does not differentiate between the cells of the region and fibers coursing through the region. To test the hypothesis that cells in this region are involved in both the pressor and drinking responses elicited by central administration of angiotensin II, injections of kainic acid were made to induce lesions of the cells, while sparing fibers of passage. Drinking and blood pressure responses were determined pre- and post-lesion in the chronically instrumented awake rat. Injections of 50 ng angiotensin II in a 2-microL volume into a lateral cerebral ventricle of the conscious rat elicited pronounced drinking and pressor responses with a latency of 3-5 min. Lesions of the median preoptic region produced by injecting 1.0 microgram of kainic acid in 0.25 microL for 15 s attenuated or blocked the drinking response and increased the latency to drink induced by central injections of angiotensin II. However, kainic acid lesions did not significantly alter the pressor responses produced by angiotensin II administration. These results suggest that cells in the median preoptic region are involved in the drinking response but do not participate in the pressor response elicited by angiotensin II administration into a lateral cerebral ventricle of the conscious rat.
