Abstract

Basal and stress-induced noradrenaline (NA) release was studied by intracerebral microdialysis in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at different ages (9 weeks, 6, 18 and 24 months). NA was measured in 20-min dialysate samples by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Microdialysis sampling was done at baseline, during a 20-min immobilization stress and for the next 100 min. Basal NA levels decreased with age, showing a highly significant correlation. Immobilization stress raised NA similarly in the four age groups (respectively 281%, 235%, 243%, 251% of baseline at 9 weeks, 6, 18, 24 months), indicating that the response to stress is maintained at all these ages and is not affected by the development of hypertension or by aging.
