Effects of pulmonary denervation on renal sympathetic and heart rate responses to hypoxia

We hypothesized that the renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) response to hypoxia is attenuated because of stimulation of pulmonary receptors by the increase in ventilation. RSNA was measured during 20 min of severe hypoxia (8% O2) in conscious New Zealand White rabbits with intact lung innervation and in rabbits with surgical denervation of the lungs (LDX). LDX decreased resting breathing frequency but had no effect on resting mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), or RSNA. In intact rabbits, 4 min of hypoxia resulted in elevated RSNA (from 14 +/- 2 to 29 +/- 3% of smoke-elicited maximum), bradycardia (delta-65 +/- 12 beats/min), and no change in MAP (delta 2 +/- 2 mmHg). Bradycardia diminished with time, but elevated RSNA was maintained throughout the 20-min exposure. LDX enhanced the initial bradycardia (delta-113 +/- 11 beats/min, P < 0.01) but had no effect on the RSNA response (35 +/- 2% of maximum) to hypoxia. LDX did not alter steady-state responses of HR or RSNA, but MAP declined over time (-11 +/- 2 mmHg). These results suggest that in conscious rabbits pulmonary receptors have a minor influence on control of sympathetic activity to viscera during severe hypoxemia.
