  • Title: Sino-aortic denervation alters the hemodynamic response to exercise in hypertensive rats.
    Author: Collins HL, Kim JK, DiCarlo SE.
    Journal: Clin Exp Hypertens; 2001 Nov; 23(8):657-66. PubMed ID: 11728010.
    Abstract:
    The effect of sino-aortic denervation (SAD) on the heart rate (HR), arterial pressure (AP) and regional blood flow responses during dynamic exercise was examined in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Intact (n= 14) and SAD (n= 17) rats were instrumented with arterial catheters and mesenteric and iliac Doppler ultrasonic flow probes. After recovery, all rats underwent a graded exercise test. Heart rate increased significantly during exercise in intact and SAD rats. There was no significant difference in the steady state heart rate response to exercise in the intact and SAD rats. Arterial pressure increased during exercise in the intact rats. In sharp contrast, arterial pressure decreased during exercise in the SAD rats. Iliac vascular conductance increased during exercise in the intact and SAD rats. The increase in iliac vascular conductance during exercise was significantly greater in the SAD rats. Mesenteric vascular conductance decreased during exercise in the intact and SAD rats. The decrease in mesenteric vascular conductance during exercise was significantly attenuated in the SAD rats. Results suggest that functioning arterial baroreceptors are required for the typical hemodynamic responses during dynamic treadmill running in hypertensive rats.
