Experiments were performed on conscious chronically instrumented rats to determine the contribution of peripheral V2-vasopressinergic receptors in any alteration of baroreceptor reflex (BRR) sensitivity on release from 1 wk of 30 degrees head-down tilt resulting from tail suspension. Initial experiments determined changes in plasma volume (PV) occurring over this period by use of the Evans Blue dye dilution technique. PV was determined immediately before tail suspension and on day 7 of the stimulus. PV, erythrocyte volume, and total blood volume were all significantly diminished on day 7, whereas hematocrit was unchanged. Other rats were instrumented with pulsed Doppler flow probes on the ascending aorta for determination of cardiac output and with arterial and venous catheters 7-10 days before study. Immediately before tail suspension, control cardiac output, mean arterial blood pressure, and heart rate values were determined. In addition, BRR sensitivity was estimated both before and after intravenous administration of a V2-receptor antagonist by assessing the slope of the pulse interval-mean arterial blood pressure relationship in response to a series of pressor doses of phenylephrine. BRR sensitivity was determined on the last day of head-down tilt, 1 min after release from tail suspension, and 10 min after administration of a specific V2-vasopressinergic antagonist. BRR sensitivity tended to fall on day 7 of tail suspension compared with control and was significantly increased after release. However, BRR sensitivity was not altered by intravenous V2 antagonist administration either before tail suspension or after release.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
