Involvement of the histaminergic system in the central melanocortin type 4 receptors stimulation-induced resuscitating effect in haemorrhagic shock in rats
Journal Title: Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 2
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Central cardiovascular regulation in haemorrhagic shock is influenced by many neuronal systems, including the melanocortinergic and histaminergic systems. The aim of the study was to examine the involvement of the his-taminergic system in the resuscitating effect of melanocortin type 4 (MC4) receptor agonist Ro 27-3225. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies were carried out on male Wistar rats subjected to irreversible haemorrhagic shock with a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 20–25 mmHg. In the 5th minute of critical hypotension, the animals were injected intracere-broventricularly (icv) with Ro 27-3225 or a 0.9% NaCl solution (control group). RESULTS Hypovolaemia was accompanied by a decrease in pulse pressure (PP), heart rate (HR) and renal blood flow (RBF). In the control group, there were no increases in the measured parameters, and a survival rate of 2 h was 0%. Ro 27-3225 (10 nmol, icv) evoked long-lasting rises in MAP, PP and RBF as well as 100% survival at 2 h. Pre-treatment with histamine H1 receptor antagonist chlorpheniramine (50 nmol, icv) inhibited Ro 27-3225- -induced increases in MAP, PP and RBF, with no influence on HR and survival at 2 h (100%). In contrast, the antagonists of H2 and H3/4 receptors – ranitidine (50 nmol, icv) and thioperamide (25 nmol, icv), respectively, had no influence on the Ro 27-3225 action. In the control groups, histamine receptor antagonists given alone did not affect the measured parameters in comparison to the saline-treated group. CONCLUSIONS The histaminergic system participates in the resuscitating effect induced by the activation of central MC4 recep-tors in haemorrhagic shock in rats, and histamine H1 receptors are involved.
