After bilateral adrenalectomy plus lumbar sympathectomy, a marked vasoconstriction in iliac vascular bed still persisted, suggesting that the vasoconstrictor component of the response to stimulation of NTS A1 receptors is mediated mostly via circulating factors (e.g., vasopressin, angiotensin II, or circulating catecholamines released from other sympathetic terminals).
Therefore, in chloralose-urethane-anesthetized rats, we evaluated the contribution of vasodilator versus vasoconstrictor effects of stimulation of NTS A1 receptors on the hindlimb vasculature.

The effects of enalaprilate on duodenal mucosal alkaline secretion (in situ titration) and mean arterial blood pressure were investigated in chloralose-anesthetized male rats.
These data suggest that enalaprilate increases duodenal mucosal alkaline secretion via a local bradykinin pathway involving receptors of the bradykinin receptor subtype-2 antagonist, rather than by blockade of endogenous angiotensin II or by central autonomic neural regulation.

Our recent study has indicated that activation of the cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex (CSAR) inhibits the baroreflex in normal rats, and in the rats with CHF the CSAR is significantly enhanced, which is related to augmented central angiotensin II (Ang II) mechanism.
To test the hypothesis, the rats with myocardial infarction-induced CHF or sham surgery were anesthetized with alpha-chloralose and urethane, vagotomized, and recordings were made of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA).

11087253 Ito S, Sved AF: Pharmacological profile of depressor response elicited by sarthran in rat ventrolateral medulla. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2000 Dec;279(6):H2961-6.

Injection of sarthran, an angiotensin receptor antagonist, bilaterally into the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) of alpha-chloralose-anesthetized rats decreases arterial pressure (AP) to the same extent as total autonomic blockade.
Coinjection of angiotensin II (ANG II) prevented the sarthran-evoked decrease in AP, but this action of ANG II was markedly attenuated by pretreatment of the RVLM with the aminopeptidase inhibitor amastatin.

Although solitary tract nucleus microinjection of 144 fmol/60 nL of leptin had no significant effect on baroreflex sensitivity for control of the heart rate in urethane/chloralose-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, 500 fmol of leptin impaired baroreflex sensitivity for bradycardia in response to increases in pressure (1.15+/-0.04 versus 0.52+/-0.12 ms/mm Hg; P <0.01).
Transgenic ASrAOGEN rats with low brain angiotensinogen have an upregulation of the leptin receptor and p85 alpha mRNA in the dorsal medulla relative to Sprague-Dawley rats.

In chloralose- and urethane-anesthetized rats, the central cut end of the aortic depressor nerve, which does not contain chemoreceptor afferents in this species, was stimulated electrically to excite baroreceptor afferents after bilateral vagotomy and sectioning of the carotid sinus nerve.
When blood pressure was elevated by an intravenous injection of a pressor agent, methoxamine or angiotensin II, or by rapid blood loading, ongoing activities of all locus coeruleus neurons tested were suppressed.

In pigs anaesthetized with alpha-chloralose, changes in anterior descending coronary, superior mesenteric and left external iliac blood flow caused by stomach distension before and after blockade of angiotensin II receptors with losartan were assessed using electromagnetic flowmeters.

Chloralose-urethane anaesthesia and surgery caused a rise in plasma renin activity but was associated with a suppression of renal renin (50 %, P < 0.01) and angiotensinogen (40 %, P < 0.05) gene expression.

Rats were anesthetized with alpha-chloralose, and the effects of microinjecting the AT1R antagonist valsartan (Val) or angiotensin II (Ang II) into the RVLM on MAP were measured.

Chloralose-anesthetized pigs subjected to 20 and 40% blood volume reductions were randomized to controls or administered guanethidine or enalaprilate to block sympathetic and angiotensinergic activation, as assessed by plasma norepinephrine spillover and angiotensin II levels, respectively.

Ang II injections (250 fmol/30 nL) into the nTS reduced blood pressure by 14+/-1 mm Hg and heart rate by 13+/-1 bpm (n=8) in male Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized with chloralose/urethane.

Baroreflex sensitivity for control of heart rate and chemosensitive vagal afferent activation in response to phenylbiguanide were measured before and after bilateral microinjection of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist candesartan and angiotensin-(1-7) receptor antagonist (D-Ala (7))-angiotensin-(1-7) in urethane/chloralose-anesthetized rats.
