In an attempt to obtain direct evidence for involvement of sympathetic outflow in paraventricular nucleus (PVN)-induced depressor response, effects of electrical stimulation of the PVN on renal sympathetic nerve activity were examined in urethane-chloralose anesthetized rats. Low intensity stimulation of the PVN inhibited renal sympathetic nerve activity, whereas the high intensity stimulation evoked an excitation followed by long-lasting inhibition in renal sympathetic nerve activity. Latencies of the inhibitory and the excitatory responses were about 200 ms and 50-100 ms, respectively. The result suggests that a decrease in blood pressure induced by low intensity stimulation of the PVN is due to inhibiting the sympathetic outflow.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
