Moderate Physical Training Ameliorates Cardiovascular Dysfunction Induced by High Fat Diet After Cessation of Training in Adult Rats. Front Physiol 2019; 10:170. [PMID: 30930783 PMCID: PMC6423496 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.00170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to test whether moderate physical training can induce long-lasting protection against cardiovascular risk factors induced by high fat diet (HFD) intake, even after cessation of training. 90-days-old Wistar rats were submitted to a sedentary lifestyle or moderate physical training, three times a week, for 30 days. Following this, at 120 days-of age, sedentary and trained rats received a hypercaloric diet (HFD) or a commercial diet normal fat diet (NFD) for 30 days. Body weight (BW) and food intake were evaluated weekly. At 150 days-of age, hemodynamic measures (systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure, pulse pressure, pulse interval and heart rate) were made via an indwelling femoral artery catheter. Beat-to-beat data were analyzed to calculate power spectra of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse interval. After euthanasia, mesenteric fat pads were removed and weighted and total blood was stored for later analysis of lipid profile. Consumption of a HFD increased blood pressure (BP), pulse pressure, low frequency BP variability, BW gain, fat pad stores and induced dyslipidemia. Interestingly, prior physical training was able to partially protect against this rise in BP and body fat stores. Prior physical training did not totally protect against the effects of HFD consumption but previously trained animals did demonstrate resistance to the development of cardiometabolic alterations, which illustrate that the benefits of physical training may be partially maintained even after 30 days of detraining period.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is a key clinical feature in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) that is associated with the incidence of cardiovascular events. Recent studies have suggested that the disorders of triglycerides, gluconeogenesis and liver glucose metabolism are associated with the abnormal transcription of clock genes. However, changes to the circadian rhythm of blood lipids in NS require further exploration, and the effects of NS on the hepatic clock system remain to be elucidated. In the present study, the impaired diurnal rhythm of the hepatic core clock genes (BMAL1, CLOCK, CRY1, CRY2, PER1 and PER2) significantly induced circadian rhythm abnormalities in liver-specific clock-controlled genes (LXR, CYP7A1, SREBP-1, ABCA1, DEC1 and DEC2; all P<0.05), which were significantly associated with the abnormal diurnal rhythms of triglyceride, total cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase (all P<0.05) in rats with Adriamycin-induced nephropathy. Furthermore, a protein-protein interaction network was identified. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses based on the human database was conducted to obtain signaling pathway and correlation prediction analyses of overall human clock and clock-controlled gene correlations. Strong correlations of the aforementioned clock genes were detected (avg. local clustering coefficient, 0.849) which suggested significant enrichment in circadian rhythm signaling. The present results indicated that damage to hepatic clock systems may impact blood lipid circadian rhythm disorders in NS, and offer a starting point for understanding the crosstalk between peripheral organs and peripheral clock systems.

Abstract
In cardiovascular diseases, sympathetic tone has been comprehensively studied, whereas parasympathetic tone has received minor attention. The vesicular ACh transporter (VAChT) knockdown homozygous (VAChT KD(HOM)) mouse is a useful model for examining the cardiocirculatory sympathovagal balance. Therefore, we investigated whether cholinergic dysfunction caused by reduced VAChT expression could adversely impact hemodynamic parameter [arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR)] daily oscillation, baroreflex sensitivity, hemodynamic variability, sympathovagal balance, and cardiovascular reactivity to restraint stress. Wild-type and VAChT KD(HOM) mice were anesthetized for telemetry transmitter implantation, and APs and HRs were recorded 10 days after surgical recovery. Changes in HR elicited by methylatropine and propranolol provided the indexes of sympathovagal tone. Cardiovascular reactivity in response to a restraint test was examined 24 h after continuous recordings of AP and HR. VAChT KD(HOM) mice exhibited reduced parasympathetic and elevated sympathetic tone. Daily oscillations of AP and HR as well as AP variability were similar between groups. Nevertheless, HR variability, patterns with two dissimilar variations from symbolic analysis, and baroreflex sensitivity were reduced in VAChT KD(HOM) mice. The change in mean AP due to restraint stress was greater in VAChT KD(HOM) mice, whereas the tachycardic response was not. These findings demonstrate that the cholinergic dysfunction present in the VAChT KD(HOM) mouse did not adversely impact basal hemodynamic parameters but promoted autonomic imbalance, an attenuation of baroreflex sensitivity, and a greater pressure response to restraint stress. These results provide a framework for understanding how autonomic imbalance impacts cardiovascular function.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is well known to participate in the abnormal autonomic cardiovascular control that occurs during the development of chronic heart failure (CHF). Disrupted cardiovascular circadian rhythm in CHF is also well accepted; however, the mechanisms underlying and the role of central Ang II type 1 receptors (AT1R) and oxidative stress in mediating such changes are not clear. In a post myocardial infarction (MI) CHF mouse model we investigated the circadian rhythm for mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) following MI. The cardiovascular parameters represent the middle 6‐h averages during daytime (6:00–18:00) and nighttime (18:00–6:00). HR increased with the severity of CHF reaching its maximum by 12 weeks post‐MI; loss of circadian HR and BRS rhythms were observed as early as 4 weeks post‐MI in conjunction with a significant blunting of the BRS and an upregulation in the AT1R and gp91phox proteins in the brainstem. Loss of MAP circadian rhythm was observed 8 weeks post‐MI. Circadian AT1R expression was demonstrated in sham animals but was lost 8 weeks following MI. Losartan reduced AT1R expression in daytime (1.18 ± 0.1 vs. 0.85 ± 0.1; P < 0.05) with a trend toward a reduction in the AT1R mRNA expression in the nighttime (1.2 ± 0.1 vs. 1.0 ± 0.1; P > 0.05) but failed to restore circadian variability. The disruption of circadian rhythm for HR, MAP and BRS along with the upregulation of AT1 and gp91phox suggests a possible role for central oxidative stress as a mediator of circadian cardiovascular parameters in the post‐MI state. Increases in central angiotenisn II signaling provide a driving force for sympatho‐excitation in heart failure. In this study, we show a loss of circadian variability in angiotensin type 1 receptor expression in the brainstem of mice post myocardial infarction. These changes correlate with a loss of cardiovascular circadian variability. These data suggest that sympatho‐ excitation may be increased in the post‐MI state at times when sympathetic outflow is normally reduced.

Abstract
The pathophysiological actions of the renin-angiotensin system hormone, angiotensin II (AngII), are mainly mediated by the AngII type 1 (AT1) receptor, a GPCR. The intrinsic spontaneous activity of the AT1 receptor in native tissues is difficult to detect due to its low expression levels. However, factors such as the membrane environment, interaction with autoantibodies, and mechanical stretch are known to increase G protein signaling in the absence of AngII. Naturally occurring and disease-causing activating mutations have not been identified in AT1 receptor. Constitutively active mutants (CAMs) of AT1 receptor have been engineered using molecular modeling and site-directed mutagenesis approaches among which substitution of Asn(111) in the transmembrane helix III with glycine or serine results in the highest basal activity of the receptor. Transgenic animal models expressing the CAM AT1 receptors that mimic various in vivo disease conditions have been useful research tools for discovering the pathophysiological role of AT1 receptor and evaluating the therapeutic potential of inverse agonists. This chapter summarizes the studies on the constitutive activity of AT1 receptor in recombinant as well as physiological systems. The impact of the availability of CAM AT1 receptors on our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying receptor activation and inverse agonism is described.

Abstract
AIMS The caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) is important for autonomic regulation and is rich in angiotensin II type 1A receptors (AT(1A)R). To determine their function, we examined whether the expression of AT(1A)R in the CVLM of mice lacking AT(1A)R (AT(1A)(-/-)) alters baroreflex sensitivity and cardiovascular responses to stress. METHODS AND RESULTS Bilateral microinjections into the CVLM of AT(1A)(-/-) mice of lentivirus with the phox-2 selective promoter (PRSx8) were made to express either AT(1A)R (Lv-PRSx8-AT(1A)) or green fluorescent protein (Lv-PRSx8-GFP) as a control. Radiotelemetry was used to record mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and locomotor activity. Following injection of Lv-PRSx8-GFP, robust neuronal expression of GFP was observed with ∼60% of the GFP-positive cells also expressing the catecholamine-synthetic enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. After 5 weeks, there were no differences in MAP or HR between groups, but the Lv-PRSx8-AT(1A)- injected mice showed reduced baroreflex sensitivity (-25%, P = 0.003) and attenuated pressor responses to cage-switch and restraint stress compared with the Lv-PRSx8-GFP-injected mice. Reduced MAP mid-frequency power during cage-switch stress reflected attenuated sympathetic activation (Pgroup × stress = 0.04). Fos-immunohistochemistry indicated greater activation of forebrain and hypothalamic neurons in the Lv-PRSx8-AT(1A) mice compared with the control. CONCLUSION The expression of AT(1A)R in CVLM neurons, including A1 neurons, while having little influence on the basal blood pressure or HR, may play a tonic role in inhibiting cardiac vagal baroreflex sensitivity. However, they strongly facilitate the forebrain response to aversive stress, yet reduce the pressor response presumably through greater sympatho-inhibition. These findings outline novel and specific roles for angiotensin II in the CVLM in autonomic regulation.

Abstract
Methodological improvements in measuring cardiovascular parameters have meant that data can be collected from freely moving animals in their home cage. However, experiments in rabbits still often require them to be restrained in a laboratory setting. The aim of this study was to determine whether measurements collected when rabbits were placed in a holding box in the laboratory are representative of values obtained in freely moving conscious rabbits. Nine New Zealand White rabbits received two radiotelemetry implants to monitor mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA). The MAP measured in the laboratory (71 ± 1 mmHg) was similar to that in the home cage (69 ± 1 mmHg), but there was less MAP variability. The RSNA was also similar in both environments. In contrast, laboratory heart rate (HR) was 7% lower than home cage HR (181 ± 4 beats min(-1), P < 0.001), but HR variability was similar. Baroreflex gain, assessed by spectral analysis, was 19% higher in the laboratory than in the home cage due to lower MAP mid-frequency variability in the laboratory. Home cage circadian patterns of MAP and HR were strongly influenced by feeding and activity. Nevertheless, MAP and RSNA laboratory measurements were the same as average 24 h values and remained similar over several weeks. We conclude that while HR is generally lower in the laboratory, a valid representation of MAP and RSNA can be given by laboratory measurements.
