Sympathetic and cardiovascular actions of orexins in conscious rats.
The novel hypothalamic peptides orexin-A and orexin-B are known to induce feeding behavior when administered intracerebroventricularly, but little is known about other physiological functions. The renal sympathetic nerves play important roles in the homeostasis of body fluids and the circulatory system. We examined the effects of intracerebroventricularly administered orexins on mean arterial p...
متن کاملCentral actions of adrenomedullin on cardiovascular parameters and sympathetic outflow in conscious rats.
Adrenomedullin (ADM) is reported to be a peripherally acting hypotensive peptide, but its central actions are unclear. We investigated the effects of centrally administered ADM on blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in conscious rats and sinoaortic-denervated (SAD) rats. We also investigated the receptors interacting with ADM using two putative anta...
متن کاملRegional hemodynamic actions of selective corticotropin-releasing factor type 2 receptor ligands in conscious rats.
In conscious male Sprague-Dawley rats, we compared regional hemodynamic actions of the selective corticotropin-releasing factor type 2 (CRF(2)) receptor ligands human and mouse urocortin 2 (hUCN2 and mUCN2, respectively) with those of CRF. Bolus i.v. doses of 3 and 30 pmol kg(-1) hUCN2, mUCN2, or CRF had no significant hemodynamic actions, but at doses of 300 and 3000 pmol kg(-1), all three pep...
متن کاملCellular consequences of thrombin-receptor activation.
To say that thrombin is a multi-functional protein is rather to understate the case. It is the key enzyme involved in haemostasis, playing important roles at all levels of complexity. First, in the coagulation cascade, thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin, which is readily cross-linked to form a clot (reviewed in [1,2]) ; secondly, thrombin activates blood platelets, causing aggregation and...
متن کاملAcute cardiovascular effects of sibutramine in conscious rats.
Sibutramine is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, used in the treatment of obesity. In this study, cardiovascular effects of sibutramine (0.9, 3, or 9 mg kg(-1) i.p.) were measured in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats, in the absence and presence of beta- and/or alpha-adrenoceptor antagonism (with propranolol and/or phentolamine, respectively). Sibutramine caused pressor and tachyca...
