Clinical observations and laboratory investigations suggest that gender and menstrual status modulate cerebrovascular reactivity. We prepared 7 groups of rabbits (I) males (II) oophorectomized untreated females, (III) testosterone treated oophorectomized females, (IV) superovulated females, (V) superovulated estrogen withdrawn females, (VI) estrogen treated oophorectomized females, and (VII) estrogen withdrawn females to mimic phases of the estrous cycle and compare cerebral basilar artery reactivity to serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) in vitro. Basilar artery sensitivity to 5-HT vasoconstriction was increased in oophorectomized, acutely estrogen withdrawn females (Group VII) when compared to estrogen maintained and the other groups (p<0.0001). There was a significant reduction in 5-HT sensitivity in superovulated females (Group IV) (p<0.001). The change in 5-HT sensitivity is selective and was not observed for NE. Nitroargenine treatment and mechanical denudement resulted in higher Tmaxand lower ED50for both NE and 5-HT regardless of hormonal manipulation. We conclude that estrogen withdrawal increases 5-HT vasoreactivity by an endothelium independent mechanism.
