The influence of long-term hypoxia on noradrenergic cell groups in the brain stem was assessed by estimating the changes in norepinephrine (NE) turnover in A1, A2 (subdivided into anterior and posterior parts), A5, and A6 groups in rats exposed to hypoxia (10% O2-90% N2) for 14 days. The NE turnover was decreased in A5 and A6 groups but failed to change significantly in A1. The NE turnover was increased in the posterior part of A2 and remained unaltered in the anterior part. In normoxic rats, the hypotensive drug dihydralazine induced a reverse effect, namely increased NE turnover in anterior A2 and no change in posterior A2. The neurochemical responses to hypoxia were abolished by transection of carotid sinus nerves. The results show that long-term hypoxia exerts differential effects on the noradrenergic cell groups located in the brain stem. Peripheral chemosensory inputs control the hypoxia-induced noradrenergic alterations. The A2 cell group displays a functional subdivision: the posterior part is influenced by peripheral chemosensory inputs, whereas the anterior part may be concerned with barosensitivity.
