The effects of lifetime oral captopril treatment on baroreflex control of heart rate and lumbar sympathetic nerve activity were measured in 19-21-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). The sensitivity of baroreflex control of heart rate and lumbar sympathetic nerve activity were determined by the slopes of the relation between the change in mean arterial pressure (MAP) (mm Hg) versus the change in pulse interval (msec/beat) and the change in MAP versus the percent change in nerve activity, respectively. Untreated SHR had significantly higher MAP than WKY (157 +/- 3 vs. 115 +/- 3 mm Hg, p less than 0.001) and exhibited a decreased baroreflex control of heart rate. Lifetime treatment with captopril prevented the development of hypertension in SHR (MAP = 110 +/- 5 mm Hg) and increased the sensitivity of baroreflex function. The gains of the baroreflex control of heart rate for captopril-treated SHR and control SHR when MAP was raised or lowered by phenylephrine or nitroprusside were 2.38 +/- 0.49 vs. 1.10 +/- 0.33 msec/mm Hg (p less than 0.05) and 0.74 +/- 0.20 vs. 0.54 +/- 0.09 (NS) msec/mm Hg, respectively. The sensitivity of the baroreflex control of lumbar sympathetic nerve activity was greater in captopril-treated SHR than in control SHR when MAP was increased or decreased (-1.03 +/- 0.26 vs. -0.38 +/- 0.11, p less than 0.05; -0.84 +/- 0.2 vs. -0.04 +/- 0.58 (NS) mm Hg-1, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
