Altered renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) plays a major role in the progression of cardiac hypertrophy. We aimed to evaluate the baroreflex control of RSNA in mice with cardiac hypertrophy. Swiss Webster mice were treated with isoproterenol (15 μg/g/day, s.c.) or vehicle and the baroreflex evaluation was performed by measuring changes in RSNA in response to changes in arterial pressure. The maximal gain of the reflex changes in RSNA was reduced in isoproterenol-treated animals (1.39 ± 0.08%/mm Hg) in comparison with vehicle-treated animals (1.77 ± 0.10%/mm Hg). Therefore, we can conclude that cardiac hypertrophy led to a reduced sensitivity of baroreflex control of RSNA.
肾交感神经活动(RSNA)的改变在心脏肥大的进展中起着重要作用。我们旨在评估心脏肥大小鼠的 RSNA 的压力感受反射控制。用异丙肾上腺素(15μg/g/天,皮下注射)或载体处理瑞士 Webster 小鼠,并通过测量 RSNA 对动脉压变化的反应来评估压力感受反射。与载体处理的动物(1.77±0.10%/mmHg)相比,异丙肾上腺素处理的动物的 RSNA 反射变化的最大增益降低(1.39±0.08%/mmHg)。因此,我们可以得出结论,心脏肥大导致 RSNA 的压力感受反射控制的敏感性降低。
