    Abstract:
    Dynamics of high-frequency components of heart periodogram whose main part is respiratory arrhythmia (RA) as well as consequences of vagotomy, block of M-cholinoreceptors by atropine and of beta-adrenoreceptors by propranolol was studied in Wistar white rats in a large age diapason from 2-4 days to adults. It was established that results of the actions in immature rats did not essentially differ from those observed in adult rats and described in animals of other species and in human. In rats of young age, predominant in genesis of RA is peripheral mechanism. Vagotomy produces an elevation of the RA amplitude due to a sharp increase of the inspiration time as well as to deafferentation. Sympathetic nervous system produces restricting action on RA. This role is preserved in animals of all age groups. Participation of parasympathetic innervation in the RA genesis is revealed from the third week and continues increasing to the mature age. However, in adult rats, the peripheral mechanism of the RA formation is preserved, as disturbance of parasympathetic innervation leads not to the disappearance of RA, but only to a decrease of its amplitude.
