Cardiovascular responses to L-glutamate microinjection into the NTS are abrogat...
Granato, Álisson Silva; Gomes, Paula Magalhães; Sá, Renato Willian Martins; Borges, Gabriel Silva Marques; Alzamora, Andréia CarvalhoRedox imbalance in regions of the CNS controlling blood pressure is increasingly recognized as a leading factor for hypertension. Nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of the dorsomedial medulla is the main region receiving excitatory visceral sensory inputs that modulate autonomic efferent drive to the cardiovascular system. This study sought to determine the capacity of reduced glutathione, a major bioactive antio...
Cardiovascular responses to hydrogen peroxide into the nucleus tractus solitarius.
Cardoso, Leonardo Máximo; Colombari, Débora Simões de Almeida; Menani, José Vanderlei; Toney, Glenn M.; Chianca Júnior, Deoclécio AlvesThe nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), a major hindbrain area involved in cardiovascular regulation, receives primary afferent fibers from peripheral baroreceptors and chemoreceptors. Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is a relatively stable and diffusible reactive oxygen species (ROS), which acting centrally, may affect neural mechanisms. In the present study, we investigated effects of H(2)O(2) alone or combined wit...
