Abstract

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a cotransmitter with norepinephrine (NE) and ATP in sympathetic nerves. There is evidence for increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), as well as a role for NPY in the development of hypertension in experimental animal models and in humans. Angiotensin II (ANG II) is known to facilitate sympathetic neurotransmission, an effect greater in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) than normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. A newly discovered product of the RAS is angiotensin-(1-7) [ANG-(1-7)]. There is evidence suggesting that ANG-(1-7) opposes the actions of ANG II, resulting in hypotensive effects. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of ANG-(1-7) on the nerve-stimulated overflow of NE and NPY from the mesenteric arterial bed of SHR and the mechanisms involved in mediating any effects produced. ANG-(1-7) (0.001, 0.01, 0.1 microM) decreased nerve-stimulated NE and NPY overflow, as well as perfusion pressure in preparations obtained from SHR. This effect was greater in preparations of SHR than WKY controls. In addition, ANG-(1-7) decreased NE overflow to a greater extent than NPY overflow.
