Excessive salt intake has been associated with the development or worsening of chronic diseases, including hypertension. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), an animal model for the study of primary hypertension, show an increased preference for sodium when compared to normotensive strains. The lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) is an important inhibitory mechanism for sodium intake co…
Different neurotransmitters and receptors present in the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) affect the activity of inhibitory mechanisms of this area. Serotonin, cholecystokinin, corticotropin releasing factor and glutamate act in the LPBN activating inhibitory mechanisms and reducing sodium intake and occasionally water intake. On the other hand, activation of ±2-adrenergic receptors, o…
