We examined the relative contributions from nitric oxide (NO) and catecholaminergic pathways in promoting cerebral arteriolar dilation during hypoglycemia (plasma glucose ≅ 1.4 mM). To that end, we monitored the effects of β-adrenoceptor (β-AR) blockade with propranolol (Pro, 1.5 mg/kg iv), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibition with 7-nitroindazole (7-NI, 40 mg/kg ip) or ARR-17477 (300 μM, via topical application), or combined intravenous Pro + 7-NI or ARR-17477 on pial arteriolar diameter changes in anesthetized rats subjected to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Additional experiments, employing topically applied TTX (1 μM), addressed the possibility that the pial arteriolar response to hypoglycemia required neuronal transmission. Separately, Pro and 7-NI elicited modest but statistically insignificant 10–20% reductions in the normal ∼40% increase in arteriolar diameter accompanying hypoglycemia. However, combined Pro-7-NI was accompanied by a >80% reduction in the hypoglycemia-induced dilation. On the other hand, the combination of intravenous Pro and topical ARR-17477 did not affect the hypoglycemia response. In the presence of TTX, the pial arteriolar response to hypoglycemia was lost completely. These results suggest that1) β-ARs and nNOS-derived NO interact in contributing to hypoglycemia-induced pial arteriolar dilation;2) the interaction does not occur in the vicinity of the arteriole; and3) the vasodilating signal is transmitted via a neuronal pathway.
