Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 303: R651-R657, 2012. First published July 25, 2012; doi: 10.1152/ajpregu.00072.2012.-The effects of estradiol on neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurotransmission in skeletal muscle resistance vessels have not been described. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of long-term estradiol supplementation on NPY overflow, degradation, and vasoconstriction in gastrocnemius first-order arterioles of adult female rats. Female rats (4 mo; n = 34) were ovariectomized (OVX) with a subset (n = 17) receiving an estradiol pellet (OVE; 17 beta-estradiol, 4 mu g/day). After conclusion of the treatment phase (8 wk), arterioles were excised, placed in a physiological saline solution (PSS) bath, and cannulated with micropipettes connected to albumin reservoirs. NPY-mediated vasoconstriction via a Y-1-agonist [Leu31Pro34]NPY decreased vessel diameter 44.54 +/- 3.95% compared with baseline; however, there were no group differences in EC50 (OVE: -8.75 +/- 0.18; OVX: -8.63 +/- 0.10 log M [Leu31Pro34]NPY) or slope (OVE: -1.11 +/- 0.25; OVX: -1.65 +/- 0.34% baseline/log M [Leu31Pro34]NPY). NPY did not potentiate norepinephrine-mediated vasoconstriction. NPY overflow experienced a slight increase following field stimulation and significantly increased (P < 0.05) over control conditions in the presence of a DPPIV inhibitor (diprotin A). Estradiol status did not affect DPPIV activity. These data suggest that NPY can induce a moderate decrease in vessel diameter in skeletal muscle first-order arterioles, and DPPIV is active in mitigating NPY overflow in young adult female rats. Long-term estradiol supplementation did not influence NPY vasoconstriction, overflow, or its enzymatic breakdown in skeletal muscle first-order arterioles.
