Polipeptídeos farmacológicamente ativos e diâmetro de artérias piais: estudo experimental com vasopressina, ocitocina, bradicinina e neurocinina

Pharmacologically active polypeptides and diameter of pial arteries: experimental study with vasopressin, oxytocin, bradykinin and neurokinin

Resumos

A ação de quatro polipeptídeos farmacológicamente ativos (vasopressina, ocitocina, bradicinina e neurocinina) sôbre as artérias piais foi estudada em cães anestesiados com pentobarbital sódico e preparados para o registro da pressão arterial. Utilizou-se a técnica de Forbes 25, modificada por Me-laragno37 que permite a visibilização, a fotografia e a mensuração dos referidos vasos. Foram feitas 24 experiências, divididas em 5 grupos de animais: um grupo foi utilizado como contrôle e os outros quatro para o estudo de cada uma das drogas acima referidas, administradas por via venosa. Os resultados obtidos conduziram às seguintes conclusões: 1) a vasopressina não determina variação significativa no diâmetro das artérias da pia-máter, embora tenha provocado irregulares variações da pressão arterial; 2) a ocitocina causa intensa vasoconstrição pial, de curta duração, sem contudo modificar essencialmente a pressão arterial sistêmica; 3) a bradicinina aumenta o diâmetro das artérias da pia-máter, em paralelismo com um efeito hipotensor sistêmico; 4) a neurocinina promove dilatação das artérias da pia-máter, independentemente de eventual variação da pressão arterial sistêmica.


The action of four pharmacologically active polypeptides (vasopressin, oxytocin, bradykinin and neurokinin) on the pial arteries was studied in dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, and prepared for recording the arterial pressure and measurement of the diameter of the pial vessels. Twenty four experiments were carried out by using five groups of animals : one of these groups was used as control and the remaining four were used for studying each drug, administered intravenously. These experiments led to the following conclusions: 1) vasopressin does not determine significant modification on the diameter of the arteries of the pia mater, although has provoked irregular changes on the arterial pressure; 2) oxytocin determines a marked but evanescent pial vasoconstriction, without modifying the arterial pressure; 3) bradykinin increases the diameter of the pial arteries, this enlargement being related to the duration of its hypotensive effect; 4) neurokinin dilates the arteries of the pia mater, independently of some occasional change of the systemic blood pressure.

SUMMARY

The action of four pharmacologically active polypeptides (vasopressin, oxytocin, bradykinin and neurokinin) on the pial arteries was studied in dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, and prepared for recording the arterial pressure and measurement of the diameter of the pial vessels.

Twenty four experiments were carried out by using five groups of animals : one of these groups was used as control and the remaining four were used for studying each drug, administered intravenously.

These experiments led to the following conclusions: 1) vasopressin does not determine significant modification on the diameter of the arteries of the pia mater, although has provoked irregular changes on the arterial pressure; 2) oxytocin determines a marked but evanescent pial vasoconstriction, without modifying the arterial pressure; 3) bradykinin increases the diameter of the pial arteries, this enlargement being related to the duration of its hypotensive effect; 4) neurokinin dilates the arteries of the pia mater, independently of some occasional change of the systemic blood pressure.
