Figure 8. Effects of PVN infusion of PD98059 on the PVN norepinephrine, glutamate and GABA in salt-induced hypertensive rats.

Figure 8

(A) norepinephrine (NE). (B) glutamate. (C) GABA. Results of HPLC showed that High-salt diet (HS) rats had higher levels of NE and glutamate and lower level of GABA compared with normal-salt (NS) rats (P < 0.05, n = 7). PVN infusion of PD98059 significantly attenuated level of NE and glutamate, and augmented level of GABA in PVN of HS rats compared with control (P < 0.05, n = 7). Values are mean ± SE. *P < 0.05 vs control (NS + PVN aCSF or NS + PVN PD98059); †P < 0.05 HS + PVN PD98059 vs HS + PVN aCSF.
