Physiol. 12): H139-H144, 1982.-Sympathetic autonomic neuropathy ‘as well as small vessel angiopathy have separately been reported in diabetic patients. To evaluate these factors concomitantly in a model of severe, untreated diabetes (plasma glucose 500 mg/dl), we administered alloxan to rats at 4 wk of age and studied them 5 wk later. After seconal anesthesia (mean arterial pressure: control, 154= t 5; diabetic, 126* 6 mmHg; P< O. OOl), the hindquarters of 10 diabetic (D) and 10 control (C) rats were perfused at constant flow per 100 g through the abdominal aorta with oxygenated Tyrode solution containing dextran: Efflux was from the ligated and severed inferior vena cava. To test the effect of a strong sympathetic stimulus producing reflex peripheral vasoconstriction, the cephalad portions of the rati were rapidly hemorrhaged. The increase in hindquarter perfusion pressure was markedly less in D (14 & 3 mmHg) than in C (56= t 5 mmHg)(P.< 0.001). The hindquarter perfusion pressure of a second control group was similar to that of D when hemorrhaged after section of the lumbar sympathetic chain (6 t 1 mmHg increase). To determine if peripheral sympathetic denervation occurred in D, the threshold response to norepinephrine in the perfusate was determined. The threshold was significantly lower in D than in C (0.17* 0.03 vs. 0.49* 0.04 &ml, respectively, P< 0.001). The maximum vasoconstrictor capacity of the vasculature was tested with supramaximal doses of vasopressin and was significantly lower in D than in C (178 t 17 vs. 262 k 6 mmHg, respectively, P< 0.001). A flow-pressure curve during maximal dilation, induced with papaverine, was significantly lower in D than in C (P< 0.001). These data suggest that both sympathetic autonomic denervation and microvascular pathology are present in floxan-induced diabetes and can contribute to abnormalities in blood pressure control. alloxan diabetic rats; diabetic angiopathy; diabetic neuropathyANABRUPTANDUNCOMPENSATED decreaseinbloodpressure upon the assumption of upright posture has been reported in up to 50% of diabetic patients (6). Autonomic neuropathy (5, 6, 13) and vascular dysfunction (12, 21) are among the factors thought to contribute to this condition. Though each has been evalauted separately, the possibility that the two coexist in the same animal has not been demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to assess both sympathetic autonomic and vascular function in an experimental model of early juvenile diabetes. We induced diabetes in ‘Sprague-Dawley rats at 4
