Pregnancy is associated with blunted reflex responses to cardiac and arterial baroreceptor stimulation. We tested the hypothesis that arterial baroreceptor afferent discharge is attenuated in response to a pressure stimulus in pregnant rats. Multifiber aortic depressor nerve activity (ADNA), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate were measured in anesthetized (pentobarbital sodium, 35 mg/kg ip) late-pregnant and virgin rats in response to increases [phenylephrine (PE), 1.5–24 μg ⋅ kg−1⋅ min−1and 1–16 μg/kg] and decreases [sodium nitroprusside (SNP), 5–80 μg ⋅ kg−1⋅ min−1and 0.05–16 μg/kg] in MAP. Resting MAP was lower in pregnant rats, but changes in MAP were similar to those in virgin rats during both PE and SNP administration. ADNA was significantly attenuated in pregnant animals during both PE and SNP infusions (P< 0.05) due to a more rapid adaptation to the pressure stimulus. Bolus drug administration evoked similar changes in MAP and ADNA in both groups; however, the maximum decrease in ADNA was achieved at the lowest dose of SNP in pregnant rats. Thus baroreceptor afferent discharge is attenuated in pregnant rats, and this involves a more rapid adaptation to a pressure stimulus.
