[Reactivity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical system in rats with hereditary arterial hypertension].
The function of hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenocortical system was studied in rats with inherited stress-sensitive arterial hypertension (ISSAH). The rats have been bred from the outbred Wistar strain. It was found that plasma corticosteroid level in ISSAH rats was lower after immobilization stress and higher after stress induced by a combination of stress-factors (ether, 0.7 ml blood loss, novel situation), as compared to Wistar rats. ISSAH rats also showed a reduced reaction to intracerebroventricular noradrenaline (10 micrograms) injection. It was concluded that the changes of noradrenergig brain mechanisms can be responsible for the alterations in the central regulation of blood pressure and adrenocortical function in ISSAH rats.
