We determined whether caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) vasodepressor neurons tonically inhibit vasomotor tone in the ear in anesthetized rabbits. Injection of L-glutamate (10 nmol in 100 nl) into the CVLM decreased arterial pressure and increased superior mesenteric conductance. Ear conductance decreased (0.43+/-0.06 to 0. 33+/-0.05 cm s(-1) per mmHg, n=15 injections, 12 rabbits, P<0.01). Conversely, bilateral injection of gamma-aminobutyric acid (100 nmol in 100 nl) increased arterial pressure and decreased superior mesenteric conductance. At the same time ear conductance increased (0.39+/-09 to 0.48+/-0.27 cm s(-1) per mmHg, n=8 injections, eight rabbits, P<0.05). Results suggest that ear vessels are not tonically inhibited by the CVLM vasodepressor neurons. Presympathetic motoneurons regulating cutaneous flow may be excited, rather than inhibited, by the CVLM neurons.
我们研究了在麻醉兔中,延髓尾端腹外侧区(CVLM)的血管减压神经元是否对耳部血管运动张力具有持续性抑制作用。向CVLM注射L-谷氨酸(100 nl中含10 nmol)可降低动脉血压并增加肠系膜上动脉传导。耳部传导降低(每毫米汞柱从0.43±0.06降至0.33±0.05 cm·s⁻¹,n = 15次注射,12只兔子,P<0.01)。相反,双侧注射γ-氨基丁酸(100 nl中含100 nmol)可升高动脉血压并降低肠系膜上动脉传导。与此同时,耳部传导增加(每毫米汞柱从0.39±0.09升至0.48±0.27 cm·s⁻¹,n = 8次注射,8只兔子,P<0.05)。结果表明,耳部血管不受CVLM血管减压神经元的持续性抑制。调节皮肤血流的交感节前运动神经元可能被CVLM神经元兴奋而非抑制。
