Abstract:
:The present study was designed to investigate the role of the autonomic nervous system in experimental hypertension induced by chronic administration of N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) in the drinking water (1 mg/mL) over 6 days. L-NAME ingestion caused a large rise in resting mean arterial pressure (MAP) (175 +/- 5 mm Hg) and heart rate (HR) (440 +/- 17 beats per minute) compared to nontreated control rats (resting MAP: 112 +/- 2 mm Hg and HR: 345 +/- 8 beats per minute). Ganglionic blockade induced by trimethaphan (5 mg/kg, intravenously) caused a significantly (P < .01) greater decrease in MAP (delta -86 +/- 7 mm Hg) compared to control rats MAP (delta -44 +/- 4 mm Hg). This strongly suggests that the level of central sympathetic tone in L-NAME-treated rats is much greater than in nontreated rats. Using atenolol and atropine alone and combined, the level of resting sympathetic drive to the heart was found to be significantly increased in L-NAME-treated rats compared to control rats. However, vagal tone to the heart was found to be virtually abolished in L-NAME-treated rats compared to control rats. These results indicate that an increase in central sympathetic drive plays an important role in the hypertension induced by chronic inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis with L-NAME.
