Abstract

Neuronostatin is a recently described neuropeptide that is derived from the somatostatin preprohormone. We have shown previously that neuronostatin led to a biphasic, dose-related increase in mean arterial pressure when injected into the lateral cerebroventricle of adult, male rats. Because neuronostatin depolarized both magnocellular and parvocellular, paraventricular nucleus neurons in hypothalamic slice preparations, we hypothesized that neuronostatin elevated mean arterial pressure first by stimulating sympathetic nervous system activity followed by the release of a pressor hormone, specifically vasopressin. We found that the first phase of neuronostatin-induced increase in mean arterial pressure was reversed by pretreatment with phentolamine, indicating that phase 1 was, indeed, due to an increase in sympathetic activity. We also found that centrally injected neuronostatin led to a dose-related increase in vasopressin secretion in a time course consistent with the peak of the second phase. Furthermore, the second phase of arterial pressure elevation was reversed by pretreatment with a vasopressin 1 receptor antagonist, indicating that phase 2 was likely due to an increase in vasopressin secretion. We previously have shown that the anorexigenic and antidipsogenic effects of neuronostatin were reversed by pretreatment with the melanocortin 3/4 receptor antagonist, SHU9119, so we evaluated the ability of SHU9119 to reverse the effects of neuronostatin on MAP and vasopressin secretion. We found that SHU9119 abrogated the second phase of neuronostatin-induced increase in MAP and neuronostatin-induced vasopressin secretion, indicating that neuronostatin acts through the central melanocortin system to increase vasopressin release, ultimately leading to an elevation in MAP.

  • The blood pressure-increasing effects of neuronostatin and nesfatin 1 were diminished by MC4R blockade.

    “The BP-increasing effects of the hormones neuronostatin and nesfatin 1, which are elevated in obesity, were diminished203,204, and hypertension induced by inhibition of NO synthesis was attenuated by MC4R blockade205.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
