Abstract

In this experiment, we examined the influence of the posterior hypothalamic adenosine A(2A) receptors on the central cardiovascular regulation of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Posterior hypothalamic injection of drugs was performed in anesthetized, artificially ventilated male Sprague-Dawley rats. Injection of CGS-21680HCl (CGS; 20 nmol), an adenosine A(2A) receptor agonist, elicited a decrease of arterial BP and HR, while injection of 8-(3-Chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC; 10 nmol), an adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonist, blocked the depressor and bradycardiac effects of CGS (20 nmol). To examine the mechanisms of cardiovascular regulation of adenosine A(2A) receptors in the posterior hypothalamus, we applied the adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase inhibitors, to the posterior hypothalamus. Pretreatment with MDL-12,330 (MDL; 10 nmol), an adenylate cylase inhibitor, attenuated the depressor and bradycardiac effects of CGS. However, pretreatment with, LY-83,583 (LY; 5 nmol), a soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor, did not alter the effects of CGS. Additionally, we examined the modification of the cardiovascular effects of adenosine A(2A) receptors through the ATP-sensitive K+ channel in the posterior hypothalamus. Poster...Continue Reading

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.
