| Popis: | This study has investigated whether pharmacological activation of Gi/o coupled histamine H3/H4 receptors inhibits the rat vasodepressor sensory outflow. For this purpose, 100 male Wistar rats were pithed, artificially ventilated and pretreated (i.v.) with: 25mg/kg gallamine, 2mg/kg/min hexamethonium and 20μg/kg/min methoxamine, followed by i.v. continuous infusions of physiological saline (0.02ml/min) or immepip (3.1, 10 or 31μg/kg/min; a histamine H3/H4 receptor agonist). Under these conditions, electrical stimulation (0.56-5.6Hz; 50V and 2ms) of the spinal cord (T9-T12) resulted in frequency-dependent vasodepressor responses, which were: (i) unchanged during the infusions of saline or immepip (3.1μg/kg/min); and (ii) significantly but, surprisingly, not dose-dependently inhibited by 10 and 31μg/kg/min immepip. Moreover, the sensory-inhibition by 10μg/kg/min immepip (which failed to inhibit the vasodepressor responses by i.v. bolus injections of α-CGRP; 0.1-1µg/kg) was: (i) essentially unaltered after i.v. administration of saline (1ml/kg) or blocking doses of the antagonists ketotifen (100μg/kg; H1), ranitidine (1000μg/kg; H2) or JNJ7777120 (310μg/kg; H4); and (ii) abolished after i.v. thioperamide (310µg/kg; H3). In conclusion, our results suggest that immepip-induced inhibition of the vasodepressor sensory outflow is mainly mediated by prejunctional activation of histamine H3 receptors. |
