Abstract

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) attenuates baroreflex control of heart rate (HR). In this study, we assessed whether CIH exposure reduced nucleus ambiguus (NA) control of HR and induced neural degeneration in the NA. Fischer 344 (age: 3-4 months) rats were exposed to either room air (RA: normoxia) or intermittent hypoxia for 35-50 days. At the end of these exposures, animals were anesthetized with pentobarbital. HR responses to arterial blood pressure (AP) changes induced by phenylephrine (PE) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were measured. In another set of rats, HR and AP responses to L-glutamate (L-Glu) microinjections (10 mM, 20 nl) into the left NA and electrical stimulation of the left cervical vagus nerve at 1-30 Hz (0.5 mA, 1 ms) for 20 s were measured. Brainstem slices at the level of -800, -400, 0, +400, +800 microm relative to the obex were processed in additional rats using Nissl staining. The NA was identified by retrogradely labeling vagal motoneurons using the tracer tetramethylrhodamine dextran (TMR-D) which was injected into the ipsilateral nodose ganglion. We found that CIH significantly 1) reduced the baroreflex control of HR (slope RA: -1.2+/-0.2 bpm/mmHg; CIH -0.5+/-0.1 bpm/mmHg; P<0.05); 2) attenuated the...Continue Reading
