Abstract

Although there are some evidences on the contribution of increased sympathoadrenergic activity on long-term nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition induced hypertension, the contribution of sympathetic activity to the development of this model of hypertension are not sufficiently studied. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of clonidine on blood pressure and vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors in the long-term N (omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) treated rats. Methods: Sixty two Wistar rats were randomly divided into 8 groups. All groups were administrated L-NNA and/or clonidine in two different concentrations for ten days. L-NNA was administrated in concentrations of 15 and 45 mg/100ml to L-NNA15 and L-NNA45 groups, respectively. Clonidine was also administrated in concentrations of 150 and 225 µg/100ml to KLO150 and KLO225 groups, respectively. Blood pressure and heart rates were measured with tail-cuff method and plasma NOx levels with spectrophotometer. The a-adrenoreceptors responses were evaluated in thoracic aorta rings in “in vitro” conditions. Results: Clonidine prevented the L-NNA induced hypertension dose-dependently, but did not effect the heart rates decreased by L-NNA. The heart rates and blood pressure of normotensive rats were not changed by clonidine alone. Plasma NOx levels increased in L-NNA15 group (0.62±0.11 µmol/L, p=0.003) but did not change in other groups. The sensitivity of aorta to phenylephrine (-7.33±0.11 µmol/L, p=0.001) and clonidine (-7.60±0.27 µmol/L, p=0.003) in L-NNA45 group and phenylephrine (-6.94±0.13 µmol/L, p=0.002) in L-NNA15 group increased. The sensitivity of aorta to phenylephrine (7.93±0.16 µmol/L, p=0.001) in KLO225 group and to clonidine (-7.20±0.10 µmol/L, p=0.009) in KLO150 group increased. Conclusion: This study supports the idea suggesting that symphathetic nervous system activation is partly responsible for the development of the long-term NOS inhibition induced hypertension. In conclusion, it was shown for the first time that clonidine prevents the development of long-term NOS inhibition induced hypertension dose-dependently. (Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2008; 8: 104-10)

Özet

Kronik nitrik oksit sentaz (NOS) inhibisyonu aracılı hipertansiyona artmış sempatoadrenerjik aktivitenin katkısı bilinmekle birlikte yeterince açık değildir. Bu model hipertansiyona sempatik aktivitenin katkısını belirlemek için bu çalışmada uzun süreli N (omega)-nitro-L-arjinin (L-NNA) uygulamasıyla gelişen hipertansiyonda sempatolitik bir ajan olan klonidinin kan basıncı ve vasküler alfa-adrenerjik reseptörler üzerine etkileri incelendi. Yöntemler: Altmış iki Wistar sıçanlar randomize bir şekilde 8 gruba ayrıldı: Tüm gruplara L-NNA ve/veya klonidin iki farklı konsantrasyonda içme suyuyla 10 gün süreyle uygulandı. L-NNA15 ve L-NNA45 grupları sırasıyla 15 ve 45mg/100ml konsantrasyonda L-NNA aldı. KLO150 ve KLO225 gruplarına sırasıyla 150 ve 225µg/100ml konsantrasyonda klonidin uygulandı. Kan basıncı ve kalp hızı ``tail-cuff`` yöntemi, plazma NOx düzeyleri spektrofotometre ile tespit edildi. a-adrenerjik reseptör yanıtları aorta halkalarında “in vitro” şartlarda değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Klonidin L-NNA uygulaması ile oluşan hipertansiyonun gelişimini doz bağımlı olarak önlerken kalp hızında meydana gelen anlamlı düşüşü etkilemedi. Tek başına klonidin uygulanan normotansif sıçanların kan basıncı ve kalp hızında bir değişiklik olmadı. Plazma NOx seviyesi L-NNA15 grubunda arttı (0.62±0.11 µmol/L, p=0.003), diğer gruplarda ise değişmedi. Aorta halkalarının “in vitro” deneylerde L-NNA45 grubunda hem fenilefrine (-7.33±0.11, p=0.001) hem de klonidine (-7.60 ± 0.27 µmol/L, p=0.003), L-NNA15 grubunda ise fenilefrine duyarlığının arttığı tespit edildi (-6.94±0.13 µmol/L, p=0.002). KLO150 grubunda aorta halkalarının klonidine (-7.20 ± 0.10 µmol/L, p=0.009), KLO225 grubunda ise fenilefrine duyarlığı arttı (7.93±0.16 µmol/L, p
