The baroreflex function curve is shifted to lower operating pressures, efferent sympathoexcitatory responses are attenuated, and sympathoinhibitory responses are potentiated in pregnant compared with virgin rats. It has been proposed that during pregnancy, elevated levels of 3α-hydroxy-dihydroprogesterone (3α-OH-DHP), a major metabolite of progesterone, may contribute to this difference, because acute intravenous administration of 3α-OH-DHP to virgin female rats mimics the effects of pregnancy on the baroreflex. To determine whether changes in the afferent limb might contribute to these baroreflex responses, the effects of pregnancy and 3α-OH-DHP on aortic depressor nerve activity were assessed in the current study. Baroreceptor discharge curves were obtained in Inactin-anesthetized rats by recording aortic nerve activity during ramp increases and decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) [intravenous phenylephrine and nitroprusside infusion] before [(control, C) 15 min (E1), and 30 min (E2) after 3α-OH-DHP (220 μg/kg bolus + 22 μg · kg−1· min−1infusion iv)]. Baseline blood pressure was significantly lower in pregnant (109 ± 4.4 mmHg) compared with virgin (122 ± 2.8 mmHg) rats. The only significant difference in the baroreceptor discharge curves was a decrease in curve midpoint in pregnant rats (virgin = 140 ± 2.7 vs. pregnant = 124 ± 3.6 mmHg). 3α-OH-DHP had no effect on afferent baroreceptor discharge curves in either virgin or pregnant groups. These results suggest that pressure-dependent baroreceptor resetting may contribute to a shift in the baroreflex curve to lower operating pressures, but cannot completely explain differences in baroreflex function between virgin and pregnant animals.
