Effects of hyperventilation and hypoventilation on stress-induced intestinal vasoconstriction. 1985

O Winsö, and B Biber, and J Martner

The combined effects of defined changes in ventilation and stress-induced vasoconstriction were studied in the intestinal vascular bed in cats (n = 20) anaesthetized with fentanyl, nitrous oxide and diazepam. Intestinal reflex vasoconstriction was induced by stimulation either of the hypothalamic defence-alarm area or of somatic and visceral pain afferents. The volume-controlled ventilation was changed by altering the tidal volume, and stimulations were performed during either control conditions (Paco2 4.5-5.0 kPa), hyperventilation (Paco2 3.0-3.5 kPa) or hypoventilation (Paco2 6.5-7.5 kPa). The increase in intestinal vascular resistance (IVR) elicited by defence-alarm area stimulation was potentiated during hyperventilation (306 +/- 83% vs 198 +/- 62%; P less than 0.01) and attenuated during hypoventilation (176 +/- 62% vs 240 +/- 44%; P less than 0.05). The increase in IVR elicited by pain fibre stimulation was potentiated during hyperventilation (73 +/- 21% vs 54 +/- 19%; P less than 0.01), but not significantly changed during hypoventilation (47 +/- 19% vs 68 +/- 34% during control ventilation). Our data indicate that the ventilatory pattern can be decisive for the vasoconstrictor response during experimental stress. We suggest that remote neurogenic mechanisms account for the increased responsiveness during hyperventilation. The decreased responsiveness during hypoventilation, on the other hand, seems to correlate with the local vasodilator effects of carbon dioxide.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

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.
