Enhanced 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release from vascular adrenergic nerves in spontaneously hypertensive rats
The release of 5-HT from vascular adrenergic nerves was compared between normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and SHR. The mesenteric vascular bed isolated from WKY and SHR was perfused with Krebs solution at a constant flow rate of 5 ml/min. Periarterial nerve stimulation (PNS) was delivered at 4 to 16 Hz for 30 sec. In the SHR preparation, the pressor response to PNS, previously decreased by prazonsin (50 nM), was greatly potentiated after treatment with 5-HT(1 ..mu..M) for 15 min and a frequency-dependent pressor response to PNS reappeared, whereas the 5-HT treatment did not alter the pressor response to exogenous norepinephrine (1 nmol) previously reduced by prazonsin. The potentiation of pressor response to PNS after 5-HT treatment was small in the WKY preparation. This potentiation in both WKY and SHR did not occur in the presence of ketanserin (10 nM). In the preparation labeled with (/sup 3/H)-5-HT, PNS (4-16 Hz) evoked a frequency-dependent increase of (/sup 3/H)-efflux, which was abolished by treatment with tetrodotoxin (100 nM) or 6-hydroxydopamine (50 mg/kg i.p. x 2) and in calcium-free Krebs solution. The PNS evoked-(/sup 3/H)-efflux was much greater in SHR than WKY. These results suggest that the release of 5-HT from vascular adrenergic nerves by PNS is enhanced in the SHR preparation.
