The decline in cardiovagal baroreflex function that occurs with aging is
accompanied by an increase in circulating leptin levels. Our previous studies
showed that exogenous leptin impairs the baroreflex sensitivity for control of
heart rate in younger rats, but the contribution of this hormone to baroreflex
dysfunction during aging is unknown. Thus we assessed the effect of bilateral
leptin microinjection (500 fmol/60 nl) within the solitary tract nucleus (NTS) on
the baroreflex sensitivity in older (66 ± 2 wk of age) urethane/chloralose
anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats with elevated circulating leptin levels. In
contrast to the 63% reduction observed in younger rats, leptin did not alter the
baroreflex sensitivity for bradycardia evoked by phenylephrine in older rats
(0.76 ± 0.19 baseline vs. 0.71 ± 0.15 ms/mmHg after leptin; P = 0.806). We
hypothesized that this loss of sensitivity reflected endogenous suppression of
the baroreflex by elevated leptin, rather than cardiovascular resistance to the
peptide. Indeed, NTS administration of a leptin receptor antagonist (75 pmol/120
nl) improved the baroreflex sensitivity for bradycardia in older rats (0.73 ±
0.13 baseline vs. 1.19 ± 0.26 at 10 min vs. 1.87 ± 0.32 at 60 min vs. 1.22 ± 0.54
ms/mmHg at 120 min; P = 0.002), with no effect in younger rats. There was no
effect of the leptin antagonist on the baroreflex sensitivity for tachycardia,
responses to cardiac vagal chemosensitive fiber activation, or resting
hemodynamics in older rats. These findings suggest that the actions of endogenous
leptin within the NTS, either produced locally or derived from the circulation,
contribute to baroreflex suppression during aging.
