We evaluated the role of the baroreceptor reflex in mediating the sympathoadrenal activation during endotoxicosis, using acutely as well as chronically denervated rats. Three groups of experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, hemodynamic and plasma catecholamine responses following endotoxin (5 mg/kg iv) were measured in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized rats with acute sinoaortic baroreceptor denervation (SAD) or sham operation. In the second experiment, chronically sinoaortic-denervated rats and sham controls were used and experiments were conducted as in acute preparations. In the third experiment hydralazine (1 mg/kg iv) was given to chronically denervated rats and sham controls to evaluate the singular contribution of hypotension-evoked baroreflex disinhibition in the absence of endotoxin. In both acute and chronic preparations, endotoxin induced marked elevation of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine in the presence as well as the absence of arterial baroreceptors (P greater than 0.05). Plasma catecholamines were significantly increased by hydralazine-induced hypotension in the sham group, but this elevation was far less than that induced by endotoxin. Hypotension alone did not significantly increase plasma catecholamines in SAD rats. These results suggest that the baroreflex is not the major factor in mediating sympathoadrenal activation during endotoxicosis and that non-baroreflex mechanisms may be involved in stimulating such activation.
