| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A single bout of exercise induces a moderate increase in arterial pressure with marked tachycardia. We previously found that the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), which is one of cardiovascular centers, is likely involved in regulating cardiovascular system during exercise. More importantly, we found that NTS histamine receptors may play a role in regulating blood pressure during exercise. Since histaminergic neurons are dominantly located in the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN), we investigated whether the TMN-NTS pathway is involved in the central cardiovascular regulation during exercise. We electrically stimulated the TMN in anesthetized rats and found pressor and tachycardiac responses. The pressor responses were partially inhibited by a H1 receptor antagonist, microinjected into the NTS. Moreover we found that the TMN lesion decreased pressor responses during exercise. These findings suggest that the TMN-NTS pathway is involved in the central pressor responses during exercise.
