Abstract

To elucidate the role of serotonin in the maintenance of normal breathing and upper airway (UA) patency in obesity, we studied the effects of systemic administration of ritanserin, a serotonin (5-HT) 2A and 2C receptor antagonist, on ventilation (V E) during room air breathing and during hypoxic (10% O2) and hypercapnic (4% CO2) ventilatory challenges in awake young (6-8 wk) and older (7-8 mo) obese and lean Zucker (Z) rats. Older obese Z rats adopted a more rapid shallow breathing pattern compared with older lean rats. The administration of ritanserin (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally) to older obese rats resulted in a reduction in V E (439 +/- 35 [SD] to 386 +/- 41 ml/kg/min, p < 0.01), a decrease in respiratory rate, a prolongation of inspiratory time, and an increase in V O2 (16.4 +/- 1.7 to 18.2 +/- 1.9 ml/kg(0.75)/min, p < 0.05) during room air breathing. By comparison, it had little effect on ventilation in young lean and obese Z or older lean Z rats. Ritanserin also had no effect on ventilatory responses to either hypoxia or hypercapnia in young or older lean and obese Z rats. The collapsibility of the isolated UA was examined in older Z rats. The pharyngeal critical pressure (Pcrit) of older obese rats was significantly great...Continue Reading
