RESUMO

Following foot shock stress white adipocytes and right atria from male and right atria from female rats sacrificed at diestrous, are supersensitive to the chronotropic effect of isoprenaline. Right atria from female rats are also subsensitive to noradrenaline. In the present study, we investigated whether the inotropic response to B-adrenergic agonists was altered in cardiac tissue from stressed rats. Left atria isolated from control or stressed male Wistar rats submitled to three 30 min foot shock sessions (120 pulses of 1.0 mA and 1.0 s duration, applied at random intervals of 5-25 s) were mounted in organ baths under a tension of 4,9 mN (0,5 gf) and stimulated with pulses of 2 Hz and 5 ms duration at voltage 20% above threshold. Concentration-response curves were obtained for the Badrenoceptor agonists isoprenaline, noradrenaline, TA2005, BRL37344 and CGP12177. Curves were also obtained for isoprenaline and noradrenaline in the presence of the selective antagonist CGP20712A (10, 30 and 100 nM), and for isoprenaline in the presence of the antagonist IC1118,551 (50 nM) or both antagonists. The sensitivity to noradrenaline, TA2005, BRL37344 and CGP12177 was unaltered in atria from foot shock stressed rats. The pD2 for isoprenaline was significantly higher in atria from stressed rats (8.85 :t 0.09) compared to control rats (8.44 :t 0.15; P <0.05, Student s t-test). Treatment with IC1118,551 (50 nM) abolished this difference (pD2 in the presence of ICI118,551: 8.43:t 0.11 and 8.60:!: 0.11 for atria from control and stressed rats, respectively. The pKs for IC1118.551 was 7.19:t 0.08 in control atria and 7.13:t 0.31 in atria from stressed rats (p >0.05, Student s t-test). Schild analyses for the antagonism between CGP20712A and isoprenaline or noradrenaline indicated that the B-adrenoceptor population in left atria from control and stressed rats was heterogeneous. We conclude that the supersensitivity of atria from foot shock stressed rats to isoprenaline resulted from an increase in B2-adrenoceptor mediated responses. These results were similar to those previously reported for right atria and adipocytes from rats submitted to the same stress protocol and indicate that not only the cardiac chronotropism also the inotropism was affected by stress what probably causes. adaptative alterations in the heart function
