The present study sought to
determine whether arterial baroreceptor afferents mediate the
inhibitory effect of an acute increase in arterial blood pressure (AP)
on thirst stimulated by systemically administered ANG II or by
hyperosmolality. Approximately 2 wk after sinoaortic denervation, one
of four doses of ANG II (10, 40, 100, or 250 ng · kg
1 · min
1) was
infused intravenously in control and complete sinoaortic-denervated (SAD) rats. Complete SAD rats ingested more water than control rats
when infused with 40, 100, or 250 ng · kg
1 · min
1 ANG II.
Furthermore, complete SAD rats displayed significantly shorter
latencies to drink compared with control rats. In a separate group of
rats, drinking behavior was stimulated by increases in plasma
osmolality, and mean AP was raised by an infusion of phenylephrine (PE). The infusion of PE significantly reduced water intake and lengthened the latencies to drink in control rats but not in complete SAD rats. In all experiments, drinking behavior of rats that were subjected to sinoaortic denervation surgery but had residual
baroreceptor reflex function (partial SAD rats) was similar to that of
control rats. Thus it appears that arterial baroreceptor afferents
mediate the inhibitory effect of an acute increase in AP on thirst
stimulated by ANG II or hyperosmolality.
