简介
The Kölliker-Fuse region (KF) and the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) have been implicated in the maintenance of cardiorespiratory control. Here, we evaluated the involvement of the KF region and the LPBN in cardiorespiratory responses elicited by chemoreceptor activation in unanesthetized rats. Male Wistar rats (280–330 g; n = 5–9/group) with bilateral stainless-steel guide cannulas implanted in the KF region or the LPBN were used. Injection of muscimol (100 and 200 pmol/100 nl) in the KF region decreased resting ventilation (1,140 ± 68 and 978 ± 100 vs. saline: 1,436 ± 155 ml·kg−1·min−1), without changing mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR). Bilateral injection of the GABA-A antagonist bicuculline (1 nmol/100 nl) in the KF blocked the inhibitory effect on ventilation (1,418 ± 138 vs. muscimol: 978 ± 100 ml·kg−1·min−1) elicited by muscimol. Muscimol injection in the KF reduced the …
