Besides the well-known brain structures involved in the regulation of blood pressure like the hypothalamus or locus coeruleus, evidence suggests that the olfactory bulb (OB) also modulates cardiovascular function. In the present study, we evaluated the interaction between the endothelinergic and catecholaminergic systems in the OB of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. Following brain ET receptor type A (ETA) blockade by BQ610 (selective antagonist), transcriptional, traductional, and post-traductional changes in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were assessed in the OB of normotensive and DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. Time course variations in systolic blood pressure and heart rate were also registered. Results showed that ETA blockade dose dependently reduced blood pressure in hypertensive rats, but it did not change heart rate. It also prevented the increase in TH activity and expression (mRNA and protein) in the right OB of hypertensive animals. However, ETA blockade did not affect hemodynamics or TH in normotensive animals. Present results support that brain ETA are not involved in blood pressure regulation in normal rats, but they significantly contribute to chronic blood pressure elevation in hypertensive animals. Changes in TH activity and expression were observed in the right but not in the left OB, supporting functional asymmetry, in line with previous studies regarding cardiovascular regulation. Present findings provide further evidence on the role of ETs in the regulation of catecholaminergic activity and the contribution of the right OB to DOCA-salt hypertension.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms19030660","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,27]],"date-time":"2018-02-27T14:18:08Z","timestamp":1519741088000},"page":"660","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Chronic Blockade of Brain Endothelin Receptor Type-A (ETA) Reduces Blood Pressure and Prevents Catecholaminergic Overactivity in the Right Olfactory Bulb of DOCA-Salt Hypertensive Rats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Luis","family":"Cassinotti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"C\u00e1tedra de Fisiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Farmacia y Bioqu\u00edmica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"Instituto de Qu\u00edmica y Metabolismo del F\u00e1rmaco (IQUIMEFA), CONICET\u2014Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Guil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C\u00e1tedra de Fisiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Farmacia y Bioqu\u00edmica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"Instituto de Qu\u00edmica y Metabolismo del F\u00e1rmaco (IQUIMEFA), CONICET\u2014Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mercedes","family":"Sch\u00f6ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C\u00e1tedra de Fisiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Farmacia y Bioqu\u00edmica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"Instituto de Qu\u00edmica y Metabolismo del F\u00e1rmaco (IQUIMEFA), CONICET\u2014Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M\u00f3nica","family":"Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Qu\u00edmica y Metabolismo del F\u00e1rmaco (IQUIMEFA), CONICET\u2014Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liliana","family":"Bianciotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C\u00e1tedra de Fisiopatolog\u00eda, Facultad de Farmacia y Bioqu\u00edmica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"Instituto de Inmunolog\u00eda, Gen\u00e9tica y Metabolismo (INIGEM), CONICET\u2014Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1456-4408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcelo","family":"Vatta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C\u00e1tedra de Fisiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Farmacia y Bioqu\u00edmica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"Instituto de Qu\u00edmica y Metabolismo del F\u00e1rmaco (IQUIMEFA), CONICET\u2014Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1113 Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2015, January 07).
