ObjectiveTo study effects of endogenous angiotensin II on responses to standardized stimulation of afferent neural input into the central portion of the arterial and cardiac baroreflexes.DesignDifferent dietary sodium intakes were used to physiologically alter endogenous angiotensin II activity. Candesartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, was used to assess dependency of observed effects on angiotensin II stimulation of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. Electrical stimulation of arterial and cardiac baroreflex afferent nerves was used to provide a standardized input to the central portion of the arterial and cardiac baroreflexes.MethodsIn anesthetized rats in balance on low, normal and high dietary sodium intake, arterial pressure, heart rate and renal sympathetic nerve activity responses to electrical stimulation of vagus and aortic depressor nerves were determined. Compared with plasma renin activity values in normal dietary sodium intake rats, those from low dietary sodium intake rats were higher and those from high dietary sodium intake rats were lower. During vagus nerve stimulation, the heart rate, arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity responses were similar in all three dietary sodium intake groups. During aortic depressor nerve stimulation, the heart rate and arterial pressure responses were similar in all three dietary sodium intake groups. However, the renal sympathetic nerve activity response was significantly greater in the low sodium group than in the normal and high sodium group at 4, 8 and 16 Hz. Candesartan administered to low dietary sodium intake rats had no effect on the heart rate and arterial pressure responses to either vagus or aortic depressor nerve stimulation but increased the magnitude of the renal sympathoinhibitory responses.ConclusionsIncreased endogenous angiotensin II in rats on a low dietary sodium intake attenuates the renal sympathoinhibitory response to activation of the cardiac and sinoaortic baroreflexes by standardized vagus and aortic depressor nerve stimulation, respectively.
