ABSTRACT

The commissural nucleus of the solitary tract (NTSc) is the relay center of the afferents fibers from the carotid baro and chemoreceptors, so that modulates blood pressure and blood sugar to stimuli in these receptors. Anoxic stimulation with sodium cyanide (NaCN) in the carotid bodies produces a hyperglycemic response. Somatostatin (SS) inhibits secretion of growth hormone and glucagon producing a hypoglycemic effect. The SS and its receptors in the NTS have an inhibitory effect. It is postulated that somatostatin modulates the hyperglycaemic response after stimulation of carotid chemoreceptors (QRC) with NaCN. In this work, the SS infusion into NTSc 4 min before the anoxic stimulation of the QRC, decreased the hyperglycemic reflex and cerebral glucose retention after 10 min of anoxic stimulus. We conclude that SS modulates the NTSc hyperglycemic response and brain glucose retention post-anoxic stimulation of the carotid bodies in rats.
