The possible participation of glutamate and NO/cGMP in the pressor response to 5-HT3 receptor activation in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) was investigated using selective antagonists in urethane-anaesthetized rats. Intra-NTS administration of NMDA and non-NMDA receptor antagonists, but not metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonists, markedly reduced (70%) the increase in blood pressure caused by local application of the potent 5-HT3 receptor agonist, 1-(m-chlorophenyl)-biguanide. The 5-HT3 receptor-mediated pressor response was also significantly attenuated by the local blockade of nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanylyl cyclase. These data suggest that ionotropic glutamate receptors and the associated NO/cGMP transduction mechanism contribute downstream to the pressor effect elicited by 5-HT3 receptor stimulation in the NTS.

D007191 Indazoles A group of heterocyclic aromatic organic compounds consisting of the fusion of BENZENE and PYRAZOLES. Indazole
D008297 Male Males
D009435 Synaptic Transmission The communication from a NEURON to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a SYNAPSE. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES. Neural Transmission,Neurotransmission,Transmission, Neural,Transmission, Synaptic
D009474 Neurons The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
