Pasos críticos para la medición de RSNA incluyen: (1) evitar el estiramiento de la arteria renal y los nervios al separar el riñón de los músculos del paraspinal y al colocar el segmento del nervio en los electrodos de la grabación, disección (2) cuidadosamente las fibras del nervio renales desde el tejido circundante/buque, (3) asegurar que los cables del electrodo están libres de tejido, sangre o linfa y (4) prevenir el nervio de la desecación mediante la aplicación de aceite mineral para el nervio renal y el...

Los descubrimientos sobre el control autonómico del sistema cardiovascular informan estrategias para el manejo de trastornos tales como hipertensión, insuficiencia cardíaca y enfermedad renal crónica. Exceso de actividad del sistema nervioso simpático y disminución del tono vagal cardíaco contribuyen a la elevada presión arterial (PA)1. Crónicamente elevada salida simpática renal aumenta la secreción de catecolaminas y disminuye el flujo sanguíneo renal, con consecuencias deletéreas para los sistemas cardiovascular, renal2,3. Para definir las vías neurobiológicas que conduce a disfunción autonómica, estudios en roedores son importantes para determinar cómo las neuronas del sistema nervioso central (SNC) regulan parámetros comprensivos. El propósito de este protocolo es proporcionar información técnica sobre medición de la actividad nerviosa simpática renal (RSNA) y BP y delinear las técnicas para cuantificar cambios simpáticos agudos en respuesta a las manipulaciones del CNS en ratas anestesiadas.
Mediciones de RSNA (no sobrevivir) agudas (duración min h) son útiles cuando los científicos sonda el SNC farmacológicamente, eléctricamente, o optogenetically en anestesia ratas para determinar las funciones de los núcleos específicos. Utilizando estos métodos, estructuras como el núcleo solitario, sustancia gris, tegmentum pedunculopontino y médula ventrolateral rostral han sido investigados para definir caminos neurobiológicos que regulan parámetros simpático4, 5,6,7. Este enfoque es importante para la identificación de objetivos de CNS ser investigado más en modelos crónicos de la disfunción autonómica8,9. Para completar estos experimentos, el laboratorio requiere un soldador, microscopio quirúrgico, marco estereotáxicas, amplificador del microelectrodo y monitor audio. Dependiendo de los presentes en el laboratorio de factores que contribuyen al ruido eléctrico, la zona quirúrgica y grabación puede requerir un Faraday cage correa/conexión a tierra reducir el ruido eléctrico en la grabación de la RSNA. Si análisis de cerebro requerirá la fijación de tejido, una bomba y humo de la campana de la perfusión se requiere. Datos pueden ser digitalizados y grabado con varios software y datos fisiológicos adquisición (convertidor análogo-digital) unidades4,5, con opciones de diferentes análisis y compatibilidades para incorporar las señales telemétricas .

quantifying acute changes in renal sympathetic nerve activity in response to central nervous system manipulations in anesthetized rats

Actividad nerviosa simpática renal (RSNA) y la presión arterial media son parámetros importantes en la investigación cardiovascular y autonómica; sin embargo, existen limitados recursos dirigir a científicos en las técnicas de medición y análisis de estas variables. Este protocolo describe los métodos para la medición de RSNA y la presión arterial media en ratas anestesiadas. El protocolo también incluye los métodos para acceder al cerebro durante grabaciones de RSNA para la manipulación del sistema nervioso central (SNC). Es compatible con la técnica de grabación de RSNA farmacológica, optogenetic, o estimulación eléctrica del SNC. El enfoque es útil cuando un investigador medir a corto plazo respuestas autónomas (min a h) en experimentos de supervivencia no correlacionan anatómicamente con los núcleos de la CNS. El enfoque no está diseñado para ser utilizado para obtener grabaciones de crónica (supervivencia) de RSNA en ratas. Descargas en RSNA, promediados rectificaron RSNA, y la presión arterial media puede ser cuantificados y analizados usando otras pruebas estadísticas paramétricas. También se describen métodos para obtener acceso venoso, la presión arterial media de grabación telemetrically y fijación de cerebro para futuros análisis histológico en el artículo.

La figura 1 ilustra una grabación muestra RSNA y BP de una rata anestesiada de Nembutal. Una inyección intravenosa de fenilefrina fue utilizada para inducir un aumento en la presión arterial media y evocar el barorreflejo y transitorio sympathoinhibition4,6. Para cuantificar la RSNA, la RSNA cruda fue rectificada y promediada para los segmentos sin traslapo 10 s; la estimación del ruido fue restad...

Quantifying Acute Changes in Renal Sympathetic Nerve Activity in Response to Central Nervous System Manipulations in Anesthetized Rats

Cuantificación de los cambios agudos en la actividad nerviosa simpática Renal en respuesta a las manipulaciones del sistema nervioso Central en ratas anestesiadas

Métodos de medición de las respuestas simpáticas y cardiovasculares a las manipulaciones del sistema nervioso central (SNC) son importantes para el avance de la neurociencia. Este protocolo fue desarrollado para ayudar a los científicos medir y cuantificar los cambios agudos en la actividad nerviosa simpática renal (RSNA) en ratas anestesiadas (no supervivencia).

Renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and mean arterial pressure are important parameters in cardiovascular and autonomic research; however, there are ...
