The injection of endothelin-1 (ET-1) (1 pmol/rat) into the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray (PAG) area of freely moving rats induced rotation along the long axis of the body (barrel-rolling). Preinjection (10 min before) of losartan (a selective AT1 receptor antagonist; 50 nmol) to the PAG area reduced the behavioural response to ET-1. In contrast, pretreatment with PD123319 (a selective AT2 receptor antagonist; 50 nmol) did not affect the ET-1-induced barrel-rolling. These results indicate that endogenous angiotensin II, via an action on AT1 receptors, contributes to the barrel-rolling of ET-1 within the brain.
向自由活动大鼠的背外侧导水管周围灰质(PAG)区域注射内皮素-1(ET-1)(1 pmol/大鼠)会诱导大鼠沿身体长轴旋转(翻滚)。在向PAG区域注射洛沙坦(一种选择性AT1受体拮抗剂;50 nmol)之前(提前10分钟)进行预注射,可降低对ET-1的行为反应。相比之下,用PD123319(一种选择性AT2受体拮抗剂;50 nmol)进行预处理并不影响ET-1诱导的翻滚。这些结果表明,内源性血管紧张素II通过作用于AT1受体,在大脑中促成了ET-1诱导的翻滚。
