Both NMDA and non-NMDA receptors in the NTS participate in the baroreceptor reflex in rats

Abstract: In this study, we determined whether either N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors or non-NMDA receptors in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) participate in the baroreceptor reflex in rats. Microinjection of an NMDA receptor antagonist, MK-801, and a non-NMDA receptor antagonist, 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, into the NTS decreased the sensitivity of the baroreceptor reflex by 51 and 41%, respectively. Simultaneous administration of both agents further reduced the sensitivity of the baroreceptor reflex to… Show more

“…These included six N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunits (NR1, NR2A to NR2D, and NR3), four ␣-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) receptor subunits (GluR1-GluR4), and five kainite (KA) receptor subunits (GluR5 to GluR7, KA1, and KA2). Whereas glutamate affects neuronal activity in the NTS via activation of both NMDA and non-NMDA receptors (Ohta and Talman, 1994;Chan et al, 1998;Zhang and Mifflin, 1998;Yen et al, 1999), the contribution of individual glutamate receptor sub-units in the NTS to cardiovascular regulation is not well documented.…”

“…The compound elicited cardiovascular responses that were qualitatively similar to those produced by injection of glutamate or NMDA into the NTS (12,18,19). These findings have been replicated in conscious rats (20,21).…”

“…We have previously shown that NMDA receptors within the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) are integral to the baroreceptor reflex (12), and others have suggested that nitroxidergic mechanisms may play a role in cardiovascular control through the NTS (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). We have sought to test this hypothesis and determine if NO• released from donor compounds elicits cardiovascular responses when administered into the NTS, the primary site of termination of vagal and glossopharyngeal cardiovascular afferent nerves.…”

“…Já a porção comissural do NTS constitui o principal sítio no SNC para o qual se projetam as aferências dos quimiorreceptores carotídeos (CHITRAVANSHI et al, 1993;CIRIELLO et al, 1994;FINLEY;KATZ, 1992). Curiosamente, a injeção de Lglutamato no NTS intermediário, em animais não anestesiados, promoveu resposta pressora (COLOMBARI et al, 1994;MACHADO;BONAGAMBA, 1992), diferentemente da resposta hipotensora produzida pela estimulação dos barorreceptores (MACHADO; BONAGAMBA, 1992;OHTA;TALMAN, 1994;TALMAN et al, 1980). Como a resposta produzida pela injeção de L-glutamato no NTS intermediário é semelhante à resposta produzida pela ativação dos quimiorreceptores, uma possibilidade seria que o efeito da injeção de L-glutamato no NTS mimetizasse a ativação do quimiorreflexo (HAIBARA et al, 1995).…”
