To study the central hypotensive mechanism of Veratrum nigrum L var ussurience Nakai alkaloids (VnA) in renal hypertensive rats(RHR).
The quantitative method of immunocytochemistry (ICC) was used to observe and detect the effect of VnA (30 micrograms.kg-1, i.v.) on activity of central catecholaminergic (CA) neurons of C1, C2, A1, and A5 areas in RHR.
VnA increased the immunoreactivity (IR) of tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (TM)-immunopositive (IP) neurons of C1, C2, and A5 areas in RHR experimental group compared with RHR control group [positive units: (1.9 +/- 0.4), (1.18 +/- 0.23), (1.2 +/- 0.4) vs (0.15 +/- 0.22), (0.31 +/- 0.16), (0.69 +/- 0.20), respectively]; IR of TM-IP neurons of C1 and C2 areas in RHR control group was decreased compared with sham-operated group [positive units: (0.15 +/- 0.22), (0.31 +/- 0.16) vs (1.45 +/- 0.29), (1.36 +/- 0.25), respectively].
VnA increased the activity of central CA neurons in RHR to exert its hypotensive effect.
研究藜芦碱(VnA)对肾性高血压大鼠(RHR)的中枢降压机制。
采用免疫细胞化学定量法(ICC)观察并检测VnA(30微克·千克-1,静脉注射)对RHR中C1、C2、A1和A5区中枢儿茶酚胺能(CA)神经元活性的影响。
与RHR对照组相比,RHR实验组中VnA增加了C1、C2和A5区酪氨酸3-单加氧酶(TM)免疫阳性(IP)神经元的免疫反应性(IR)[阳性单位:分别为(1.9±0.4)、(1.18±0.23)、(1.2±0.4)对比(0.15±0.22)、(0.31±0.16)、(0.69±0.20)];与假手术组相比,RHR对照组中C1和C2区TM-IP神经元的IR降低[阳性单位:分别为(0.15±0.22)、(0.31±0.16)对比(1.45±0.29)、(1.36±0.25)]。
VnA增加RHR中枢CA神经元的活性以发挥其降压作用。
