The current study assesses the influence of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist D-2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoate (AP7) on the pressor effect of glutamate microinjected into the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter (DPAG) of urethane-anesthetized rats. Glutamate (20, 40 and 80 nmol/site) caused dose-related reproducible increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Microinjection of saline into the DPAG did not alter the pressor effects of glutamate (80 nmol/site). Similar pretreatment with AP7 (2 nmol/site) significantly (P less than 0.05) attenuated the pressor effects of glutamate from +26.5 +/- 7.0 to +3.4 +/- 3.3 mmHg (systolic blood pressure). We conclude that the pressor effect of glutamate in the DPAG is mediated largely by activation of NMDA receptors.
本研究评估了N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体拮抗剂D-2-氨基-7-膦酰庚酸(AP7)对向氨基甲酸乙酯麻醉大鼠的背侧导水管周围灰质(DPAG)微量注射谷氨酸所致升压效应的影响。谷氨酸(20、40和80 nmol/部位)引起收缩压和舒张压呈剂量相关的可重复性升高。向DPAG微量注射生理盐水未改变谷氨酸(80 nmol/部位)的升压效应。用AP7(2 nmol/部位)进行类似预处理可显著(P<0.05)减弱谷氨酸的升压效应,收缩压从+26.5±7.0 mmHg降至+3.4±3.3 mmHg。我们得出结论,DPAG中谷氨酸的升压效应主要由NMDA受体激活介导。
