Abstract

The present study was designed to examine the effects of treatment of SHR with captopril, teprotide, and saralasin on vascular and cardiac responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation and angiotensin I and II (AI, AII) and norepinephrine (NE). A single dose of captopril (10 mg/kg i.v. as well as 10 and 100 mg/kg p.o.) caused significant and marked inhibition of pressor responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation in pithed SHR but cardiac responses were unaffected. Pressor responses to AI were abolished but those to AII and NE were not significantly altered. Neither teprotide nor saralasin caused consistent inhibition of sympathetic responses despite total blockade of AI and AII response respectively. Selective inhibition of pressor but not cardiac responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation was obtained after 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months of daily oral doses of captopril. In addition, postjunctional pressor responses to AI, AII, and NE were also significantly inhibited by chronic captopril treatment. Infusion of AII, bilateral nephrectomy, or pretreatment with indomethacin alone in pithed SHR receiving captopril had no effect on the inhibition of pressor responses to sympathetic stimulation. However, the combination of pretreatment of in...Continue Reading
