Post-weaning protein malnutrition is often related to the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in humans, as well to changed content of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system under experimental conditions. The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is a bulbar region that contains sympathetic premotor neurons; the excitatory amino acid L-glutamate seems to be the main neurotransmitter at ...

Several studies in the literature suggest that low-protein intake is associated with increases in sympathetic efferent activity and cardiovascular disease. Among the possible mechanisms, changes in the neurotransmission of cardiovascular reflexes have been implicated. Therefore, the present study comprised the evaluation of chemoreflex responsiveness in rats subjected to a low-protein diet during the 35 days af...
Earlier studies from the authors' laboratory showed that malnourishment induces alterations in the cardiovascular homeostasis increasing the basal mean arterial pressure and heart rate. In this study, the authors evaluated whether the sympathetic and parasympathetic efferent activities contribute to changes in the cardiovascular homeostasis through altered modulation of the arterial baroreflex of malnourished r...
In this study we assessed the role of Bezold–Jarisch reflex (BJR) in the regulation of blood pressure (BP) of malnourished (MN) and control rats (CN) with sino-aortic denervation (SAD). Fischer rats were fed diets containing either 6% (MN) or 15% (CN) protein for 35 days after weaning. These rats underwent sham or SAD and catheterization of femoral artery and vein for BP measurements and drug injection. Phenylb...
Malnutrition affects cardiovascular reflexes, including chemoreflex and baroreflex. In this study we assessed the hypothesis that malnourishment changes the responses in mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) evoked from Bezold–Jarischreflex (BJR). Fischer rats were fed diets containing either (6% malnourished or 14% control) protein for 35 days after weaning. ...
