Abstract

Purpose of Review Surgical removal of the baroreceptor afferents {[}sino-aortic denervation (SAD)] leads to a lack of inhibitory feedback to sympathetic outflow, which in turn is expected to result in a large increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP). However, few days after surgery, the sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and MAP of SAD rats return to a range similar to that observed in control rats. In this review, we present experimental evidence suggesting that breathing contributes to control of SNA and MAP following SAD. The purpose of this review was to discuss studies exploring SNA and MAP regulation in SAD rats, highlighting the possible role of breathing in the neural mechanisms of this modulation of SNA. Recent Findings Recent studies show that baroreceptor afferent stimulation or removal (SAD) results in changes in the respiratory pattern. Summary Changes in the neural respiratory network and in the respiratory pattern must be considered among mechanisms involved in the modulation of the MAP after SAD. (AU)
