Objective:To determine whether altered central and/or peripheral opioidergic mechanisms contribute to the altered ventilatory response to sustained hypoxia in obese Zucker rats.Research Methods and Procedures:Eight lean (176 ± 8 [SEM] g) and eight obese (225 ± 12 g) Zucker rats were studied at 6 weeks of age. Pulmonary ventilation (V̇E), tidal volume (VT), and breathing frequency (f) at rest and in response to sustained (30 minutes) hypoxic (10% O2) challenges were measured on three separate occasions by the barometric method after the randomized, blinded administration of equal volumes of saline (control), naloxone methiodide (NM; 5 mg/kg, peripheral opioid antagonist), or naloxone hydrochloride (NHCl; 5 mg/kg, peripheral and central opioid antagonist).Results:Administration of NMand NHClin lean animals had no effect on V̇Eeither at rest or during 30 minutes of sustained exposure to hypoxia. Similarly, NMfailed to alter V̇Ein obese rats. In contrast, NHClsignificantly (p< 0.05) increased V̇Eand VTboth at rest and during 2 to 10 minutes of hypoxic exposure in obese rats. After 20 to 30 minutes of hypoxic exposure, VTremained elevated with NHCl, but the earlier elevation of V̇Eseemed to be attenuated due to a decrease in f at 20 minutes of exposure to hypoxia.Discussion:Thus, endogenous opioids modulate both resting V̇Eand the ventilatory response to sustained hypoxia in obese, but not in lean, Zucker rats by acting specifically on opioid receptors located within the central nervous system.
