The objective of the Project is to elucidate neural mechanisms that process autonomic information associated with compensatory cardiovascular, respiratory and behavioral (thirst and sodium appetite) adjustments to dehydration and underlying arterial hypertension. The study will focus on a model circuit involving a triangle formed by nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), rostro-ventrolatera…

Sodium ion, necessary for hydromineral balance, can cause cardiovascular diseases when in excess. Alpha2-adrenoceptors (ADRa2) belong to mechanisms of anti-hypertensive drugs and, following pioneering investigations from our laboratory, are involved with inhibitopry mechanism of sodium intake. However, we do not know whether ADRa2 participate in the control of salty taste. The objective o…
The behavior of sodium intake constitutes not only a response to extracellular dehydration resulting from sodium depletion, but also operates in an anticipatory and plastic mode thus allowing adaptation to environments with chronic or intermittent sodium deficiency. We have shown recently that recurrent episodes of water deprivation, which sensitize sodium appetite, produce changes in hyp…
Preliminary results obtained by the applicant show that hydrated adult rats with history of sodium depletion have enhanced sugar intake in tests of spontaneous ingestion of sucrose (hedonic test), thus suggesting cross sensitization between sodium depletion and sucrose intake. The objective of the present project is to find out if episodic sodium depletion (furosemide combined with remova…
