- Baroreflex Impairment Precedes Cardiometabolic Dysfunction in an Experimental Model of Metabolic Syndrome: Role of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress(2018) BERNARDES, Nathalia; DIAS, Danielle da Silva; STOYELL-CONTI, Filipe Fernandes; BRITO-MONZANI, Janaina de Oliveira; MALFITANO, Christiane; CALDINI, Elia Garcia; ULLOA, Luis; LLESUY, Susana Francisca; IRIGOYEN, Maria-Claudia; ANGELIS, Katia DeThis study analyzes whether autonomic dysfunction precedes cardiometabolic alterations in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with fructose overload. Animals were randomly distributed into three groups: control, hypertensive and hypertensive with fructose overload. Fructose overload (100 g/L) was initiated at 30 days old, and the animals (n = 6/group/time) were evaluated after 7,15, 30 and 60 days of fructose consumption. Fructose consumption reduced baroreflex sensitivity by day 7, and still induced a progressive reduction in baroreflex sensitivity over the time. Fructose consumption also increased TNF alpha and IL-6 levels in the adipose tissue and IL-1 beta(3 levels in the spleen at days 15 and 30. Fructose consumption also reduced plasmatic nitrites (day 15 and 30) and superoxide dismutase activity (day 15 and 60), but increased hydrogen peroxide (day 30 and 60), lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation (day 60). Fructose consumption increased arterial pressure at day 30 (8%) and 60 (11%). Fructose consumption also induced a late insulin resistance at day 60, but did not affect glucose levels. In conclusion, the results show that baroreflex sensitivity impairment precedes inflammatory and oxidative stress disorders, probably by inducing hemodynamic and metabolic dysfunctions observed in metabolic syndrome.
- Acute renal denervation normalizes aortic function and decreases blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats(2020) MOREIRA, Nathalia Juocys Dias; SANTOS, Fernando dos; MOREIRA, Edson Dias; FARAH, Daniela; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; SILVA, Maikon Barbosa da; MORAES-SILVA, Ivana Cinthya; LINCEVICIUS, Gisele Silverio; CALDINI, Elia Garcia; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia CostaMechanisms involved in the acute responses to renal denervation (RDN) have yet to be fully understood. We assessed urinary volume, autonomic control and aorta vascular reactivity after acute RDN. Male normotensive Wistar rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were divided into normotensive+RDN (ND) or sham surgery (NS), and hypertensive+RDN (HD) or sham surgery (HS). Metabolic parameters and hemodynamic measurements were recorded 72h and 4 days after intervention, respectively. Aortic rings were studied 7 days post RDN in an isometric myograph. Concentration-response curves to phenylephrine, sodium nitroprusside and acetylcholine (10(-10)-10(-5) M) were performed. Two-way ANOVA was used for group comparisons and differences reported when p < 0.05. Results are presented as mean +/- SEM. Urinary volume was 112% higher in HD vs. HS (HS=14.94 +/- 2.5 mL; HD=31.69 +/- 2.2 mL) and remained unchanged in normotensive rats. Systolic BP was lower in HD rats (HS=201 +/- 12 vs. HD=172 +/- 3 mmHg) without changes in normotensive group. HD group showed increased HF and LF modulation (HS=5.8 +/- 0.7 ms(2) vs. HD=13.4 +/- 1.4 ms(2); HS=3.5 +/- 0.7 ms(2) vs. HD=10.5 +/- 1.7 ms(2), respectively). RDN normalized vascular reactivity in HD rats and increased phenylephrine response in ND rats. Acute fall in BP induced by RDN is associated with increased urinary volume, which in turn may also have contributed to functional changes of the aorta.
