In anesthetized intact rats, cerebral blood flow is autoregulated until mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) exceeds 150 mmHg. At higher pressures cerebral blood flow breaks through autoregulation and rapidly increases. However, interruption of the arterial baroreceptor reflex eliminates breakthrough of autoregulation. Thus, breakthrough may reflect active rather than passive vasodilatation. We, therefore, sought to determine if breakthrough depends upon synthesis of the vasodilator nitric oxide. Thirty-eight anesthetized adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were studied. In all, MAP was raised by slow i.v. infusion of phenylephrine. In rats pretreated with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-nitroarginine (LNA; 22 mg/kg i.v.) or with a combination of LNA plus D-arginine (DArg; 240 mg/kg i.v.), breakthrough did not occur even when MAP exceeded 185 mmHg (LNA) and 165 mmHg (DArg). In contrast, breakthrough occurred in rats treated with LNA plus L-arginine (LArg; 240 mg/kg i.v.) and in rats whose basal vascular tone had been increased by pretreatment with arginine vasopressin prior to infusion of phenylephrine. Removal of sympathetic innervation to cerebral vessls attenuated, but did not eliminate, effects of LNA on breakthrough. Thus, vasodilatation seen with breakthrough of autoregulation depends upon release of nitric oxide or a nitric oxide donor.
