Factors leading to AD include loss of vasomotor baroreflex control to regions below injury level, changes in spinal circuitry, and peripheral changes. The present study tested for peripheral changes below and above injury level 6 wk after a transection at the fourth thoracic spinal level. Changes in vascular conductance were recorded in the femoral, renal, brachial, and carotid arteries in response to intravenous injections of two \u03b1-adrenergic agonists, phenylephrine (PE; 0.03\u2013100 \u03bcg\/kg) and methoxamine (Meth; 1\u2013300 \u03bcg\/kg). Unlike PE, Meth is not subject to neuronal reuptake. Ganglionic blockade (0.6 mg\/kg chlorisondamine) was used to eliminate the central component of the cardiovascular response. After ganglionic blockade, SCI animals exhibited prolonged vasoconstriction in response to PE in all blood vessels measured compared with those in intact animals (all, P &lt; 0.035). However, the PE dose-response curves obtained after ganglionic blockade revealed no significant difference in the potency between the two groups (all, P &gt; 0.06), indicating that the prolonged vasoconstriction was not due to supersensitivity to PE. In contrast to PE, vascular responses to Meth did not vary between intact and SCI groups (all P &gt; 0.108). These results show the development of a widespread peripheral change producing prolonged vasoconstriction in response to PE, but not Meth, possibly due to reduced neuronal reuptake of PE after SCI. This is the first study to report such a change in blood vessels not only below but also above injury level. Interventions to correct this reduced reuptake may help limit the development of AD. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpheart.01002.2007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,30]],"date-time":"2007-11-30T20:34:10Z","timestamp":1196454850000},"page":"H785-H792","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Peripheral changes above and below injury level lead to prolonged vascular responses following high spinal cord injury"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"294","author":[{"given":"A.
