In this study, we tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) production in the dorsal horn is involved in producing the pressor reflex elicited by static contraction of skeletal muscle. Cats were anesthetized with α-chloralose (80 mg/kg) and urethane (100 mg/kg), and a laminectomy was performed. With the exception of the L7dorsal root, the dorsal and ventral roots from L5to S2were sectioned on one side and static contraction of the ipsilateral triceps surae muscle was evoked by electrically stimulating the peripheral ends of the L7and S1ventral roots. Dialysis of the NO synthase inhibitorNG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 50 mmol/l syringe concentration, based upon dose-response data) into the dorsal horn at L6and S1failed to attenuate the peak change in mean arterial pressure (MAP) evoked by static contraction (ΔMAP in mmHg: 57 ± 5 before and 50 ± 6 after 2 h ofl-NAME). However, this dialysis ofl-NAME reduced the magnitude of the initial pressor response as the MAP at 10 s of the contraction fell from 27 ± 4 to 17 ± 4 mmHg. On the other hand, 2 h ofl-arginine dialysis (50 mmol/l) shifted the curve representing the time course of the pressor response upward and increased the peak pressor response to static contraction from 51 ± 9 to 68 ± 9 mmHg. A 2-h dialysis ofd-NAME (50 mmol/l), the inactive enantiomer ofl-NAME, had no effect on the time course or the peak pressor response (ΔMAP in mmHg: 78 ± 12 before and 72 ± 15 after). These data suggest that NO production in the dorsal horn has a modulatory influence on the pressor reflex evoked by static contraction of skeletal muscle and that increasing the level of NO in the dorsal horn enhances the excitability of dorsal horn cells to muscle afferent input.
