Effect of carotid or aortic baroreceptor denervation on arterial pressure during hemorrhage in conscious dogs

We studied the effect of chronically denervating aortic baroreceptors (ABR; n = 6) or carotid baroreceptors (CBR; n = 7) on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) responses to hemorrhage in the dog. Neither denervation had a significant effect on basal MAP, the variability (standard deviation) of MAP, or resting HR. However, the breakpoint of MAP (defined as the volume of blood removed when MAP fell more than 10% below control and declined monotonically thereafter) was significantly reduced in dogs with only ABR functional (12.4 ± 1.4 ml/kg) compared with the volume in the intact condition (18.9 ± 1.8 ml/kg). In contrast, there was no difference in the breakpoint or the MAP at any time during hemorrhage in dogs with both CBR functional compared with their intact responses. In a different group of dogs (n = 6), responses were determined with both CBR operating and again after unilateral denervation, leaving only one CBR (1CBR) functional. Basal MAP and the variability of MAP were not altered in dogs with only 1CBR functional, but the breakpoint (11.7 ± 1.4 ml/kg) during hemorrhage was significantly different compared with responses with two CBR (21.2 ± 2.3 ml/kg), and MAP fell to much lower levels. These results indicate that the CBR can compensate fully for loss of ABR during hemorrhage but not vice versa; and bilateral CBR inputs are required for normal responses to hemorrhage.
