Responses of cerebral arterioles to activation of beta-adrenergic receptors during diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: Background and Purpose Diabetes mellitus impairs reactivity of large peripheral arteries and arterioles to activation of 0-adrenergic receptors. The goal of this study was to determine whether diabetes mellitus alters dilatation of cerebral arterioles to activation of /3-adrenergic receptors.Methods In vivo diameter of pial arterioles was measured in nondiabetic and diabetic (streptozotocin 50 to 60 mg/kg IP) rats during superfusion with isoproterenol, forskolin, and nitroglycerin. In addition, we examined the… Show more

“…The diabetes induced vascular changes in l3-adrenergic receptor function may contribute to attenuation of the sympathetic stress response. Brain microvessels of streptozoto cin-induced diabetic rats have a decreased number of l3-adrenergic receptors and an attenuated CBF and pial arteriolar vasodilative response to isopro terenol (Mayhan, 1993(Mayhan, , 1994. Altered CBF re sponses to propranolol occur in our diabetic dogs as well (Sieber et aI., 1993a).…”

“…40 In diabetic humans as well as experimental animals, cerebral vasodilatory responses are impaired, presumably related to beta-adrenergic or sympathetic neuronal dysfunction. 41,42 In diabetic rats, the number of beta-adrenergic receptors is reduced in cerebral microvessels, 43 which can be attributed to the impaired beta-adrenergic receptor-mediated vasodilatory response in DM, resulting in enhanced pulsatility. Vessels in the posterior cerebral circulation, since they have fewer adrenergic neurons than in the anterior cerebral circulation, 40 may have a restricted vasodilatory response and enhance the susceptibility of DM-related neuronal dysregulation of cerebral vessels.…”

“…1 2 In contrast, ß-adrenergic blocking agents decrease cerebral blood flow in experimental study. 22 NTG and PGE1 have minimal effects on cerebral blood flow. 13 However, the results of the present study could not be explained by the known action of the drug on cerebral circulation under stable condition.…”
