The prostaglandin endoperoxide analogue U-46619 is a selective agonist of TxA2 receptors in many peripheral tissues. In the present study the ·central cardiovascular and ventilatory effects of U-46619 were investigated in rats. In conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) U-46619 (1-100 nmol/kg i.c.v.) induced a strong dose-related increase in blood pressure but had no significant effect on heart rate. In conscious normotensive rats (NR) neither blood pressure nor heart rate was significantly affected. Furthermore, U-46619 (0.1-100 nmol/kg i.c.v.) had no significant effect on blood pressure, heart rate or ventilation in urethane-anaesthetised NR . The results demonstrate an increased sensitivity of SHR to TxA2.}, subject = {Medizin}, language = {en} }
