To investigate the possible relation between changes in behaviour and the development of hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of the catecholamine neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) on blood pressure and spontaneous behaviour was studied. In addition to an attenuation of the rise in blood pressure in SHR, 6-OHDA induced a marked decrease in rearing activity in the open field towards levels found in WKY. Other parameters were either not changed (stereotyped sniffing) or influenced in a comparable way in SHR and WKY (increase in locomotion). These results suggest that ICV 6-OHDA may simultaneously affect the development of hypertension and certain components of the changed behaviour of SHR. The exact relation between the two phenomena awaits further investigation.
为了研究自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)行为变化与高血压发展之间的可能关系,研究了脑室内(ICV)注射儿茶酚胺神经毒素6-羟基多巴胺(6-OHDA)对血压和自发行为的影响。除了使SHR的血压升高幅度减弱外,6-OHDA还使旷场试验中的竖毛活动显著减少,降至WKY大鼠的水平。其他参数要么没有变化(刻板嗅探),要么在SHR和WKY中受到类似影响(运动增加)。这些结果表明,脑室内注射6-OHDA可能同时影响高血压的发展以及SHR行为改变的某些成分。这两种现象之间的确切关系有待进一步研究。
