摘要

Chronic exposure of rats to cold for 1-3 weeks results in a mild form of hypertension. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in this model of cold-induced hypertension. Previously we have characterized the vascular responsiveness in cold-acclimated animals, using aortic tissue, and recent studies have focused on the thermoregulatory responses of angiotensin II (AngII), utilizing the tail artery of the rat. Therefore in the current study we evaluated the vascular responsiveness of cold-treated rats to AngII in both aorta and tail artery at 2 and 4 weeks of cold exposure (5+/-2 degrees C). Systolic blood pressures were significantly elevated in cold-treated animals compared with control animals at both 2 and 4 weeks of cold exposure. At both of these time points body weights were reduced and ventricular weights were increased in cold-treated animals. After 2 weeks of cold exposure the vascular responsiveness of the aorta to AngII was significantly lower than that of controls. This vascular responsiveness to AngII was elevated and returned to control levels after 5 weeks of cold exposure. However, this pattern was not observed in the tail artery. The vascular responsiveness of tail artery rings from cold-treated rats to AngII was significantly greater than that of control animals during both 2 and 5 weeks of exposure to cold. The vascular contractile responses of both the aorta and tail artery to KCI in the cold-treated animals was not different from that of the control animals maintained at ambient room temperature, suggesting that the vascular smooth muscle contractile components were not altered by the cold exposure. Thus, the in vitro vascular reactivity to the receptor-mediated vasoconstrictor AngII was decreased in the sparsely innervated aorta and increased in the more densely innervated tail artery of the cold-treated animals when compared with controls. These results suggest that the increased responsiveness of AngII on the smooth muscle of the tail artery may play a role in adaptation to the cold and the maintenance of cold-induced hypertension.
