Abstract

Hypotensive effect of clonidine and its effect on arterial pressure lability as the main index of stability of background blood pressure are studied in intact spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and rats with chronic sinoaortic denervation. Barodenervation potentiates hypotensive and negative cardiochronotropic effects of clonidine, which is accompanied by reduced blood pressure lability. This indicates an increased sensitivity of central α2-and imidazoline receptors, which mediate the depressor effect of clonidine, against the background of chronic inhibition of the baroreceptor reflex.
