The role of the vagi in the control of renin secretion was investigated in dogs maintained on a high-salt diet. Renal perfusion pressure was maintained relatively constant by the manipulation of a suprarenal aortic snare. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), plasma renin activity (PRA), and packed cell volume (PCV) increased after sinoaortic denervation and cervical vagotomy. Cooling of cervical vagi to 3-5 degrees C had the same effect as vagotomy. There was no change in MAP, PRA, and PCV in sham-operated animals. Propranolol prevented the increase in PRA following sinoaortic denervation and vagotomy, but not that in MAP or PCV. In splenectomized dogs, PCV still showed increases after sinoaortic denervation and vagotomy. It is suggested that the removal of sinoaortic and/or vagal inhibitory effects on the vasomotor center causes increases in sympathetic discharge to the adrenal medulla and the peripheral vessels, and that this in turn leads to the increase in MAP. The increase in sympathetic discharge to the adrenal medulla and the kidney causes the increases in PRA.

Contribution of platelets to disruption of the blood-brain barrier during arterial baroreflex dysfunction.

Background: Arterial baroreflex dysfunction, like many other central nervous system disorders, involves disruption of the blood-brain barrier, but what causes such disruption in ABR dysfunction is unclear. Here we explored the potential role of platelets in this disruption.
Methods: ABR dysfunction was induced in rats using sinoaortic denervation, and the effects on integrity of the blood-brain barrier were explored based on leakage of Evans blue or FITC-dextran, while the effects on expression of CD40L in platelets and of key proteins in microvascular endothelial cells were explored using immunohistochemistry, western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Blockade of endogenous insulin receptor signaling in the nucleus tractus solitarius potentiates exercise pressor reflex function in healthy male rats.

Insulin not only regulates glucose and/or lipid metabolism but also modulates brain neural activity. The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) is a key central integration site for sensory input from working skeletal muscle and arterial baroreceptors during exercise. Stimulation of the skeletal muscle exercise pressor reflex (EPR), the responses of which are buffered by the arterial baroreflex, leads to compensatory increases in arterial pressure to supply blood to working muscle.

For post-menopausal women, stroke is complicated by the variable effects of estrogen therapy and the age-related therapeutic consequences involved. Estrogen therapy has been shown to have an age-dimorphic effect, which is neuroprotective in young females, but non-neuroprotective, even neurotoxic in acyclic females. We hypothesized that arterial baroreflex (ABR) and its downstream acetylcholine-α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) anti-inflammatory pathways are involved in estrogen efficacy toward cerebral ischemic damage.

Arterial baroreflex (ABR) dysfunction has previously been associated with neuroinflammation, the most common pathological feature of neurological disorders. However, the mechanisms mediating ABR dysfunction-induced neuroinflammation are not fully understood. In the present study, we investigated the role of platelet CD40 ligand (CD40L) in neuroinflammation in an in vivo model of ABR dysfunction, and microglia and astrocyte activation in vitro.

Background: Sleep disturbances and aversive cold stress (CS) are cardiovascular risk factors. This study investigates how homeostatic control autonomic baroreflex influences the hemodynamic perturbations evoked by paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) and CS.
Methods: Conscious adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups (Sham/CON [control], Sham/PSD, sinoaortic denervation [SAD]/CON, and SAD/PSD).
