muscimol and Blood Pressure, High

muscimol has been researched along with Blood Pressure, High in 25 studies

Muscimol: A neurotoxic isoxazole isolated from species of AMANITA. It is obtained by decarboxylation of IBOTENIC ACID. Muscimol is a potent agonist of GABA-A RECEPTORS and is used mainly as an experimental tool in animal and tissue studies.
muscimol : A member of the class of isoxazoles that is 1,2-oxazol-3(2H)-one substituted by an aminomethyl group at position 5. It has been isolated from mushrooms of the genus Amanita.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Baclofen (20 mg/kg) was neuroprotective (potency ratio of 3."5.30High dose baclofen is neuroprotective but also causes intracerebral hemorrhage: a quantal bioassay study using the intraluminal suture occlusion method. ( Jackson-Friedman, C; Jin, A; Lyden, PD; Nunez, S; Zweifler, R, 1997)
"Development of angiotensin II (Ang II)-dependent hypertension involves microglial activation and proinflammatory cytokine actions in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN)."3.80Ang II-salt hypertension depends on neuronal activity in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus but not on local actions of tumor necrosis factor-α. ( Bardgett, ME; Herrera-Rosales, M; Holbein, WW; Toney, GM, 2014)
"To determine whether chronic central gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) stimulation would attenuate development of hypertension, tail-cuff systolic pressures were measured in male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) treated with either an inhibitor of GABA breakdown (valproate, VPA), or a GABA-receptor agonist (muscimol)."3.68Chronic central GABAergic stimulation attenuates hypothalamic hyperactivity and development of spontaneous hypertension in rats. ( Hayashi, J; Kawasaki, S; Nakagawa, M; Nakata, T; Oguro, M; Sasaki, S; Takeda, K, 1990)
" Intraperitoneal injection of valproic acid (50-100 mg/Kg/die) for 6 weeks significantly reduced the development of DOCA-salt hypertension in rats."3.67Increased cardiovascular responsiveness to GABAergic stimulation in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. ( Caputi, AP; Costa, G; Di Giorgio, RM; Magrì, V; Quattrone, G; Squadrito, F; Trimarchi, GR, 1984)
"To elucidate the role of the central gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system in the maintenance of deoxycorticosterone (DOCA)NaCl hypertension, the responses of mean arterial pressure (MAP), plasma norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (EP) to intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of muscimol, a GABA agonist, and the responses of MAP to bicuculline, a GABA antagonist, and to clonidine, an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist known to lower blood pressure by inhibiting sympathetic tone, were examined in conscious, unrestrained 4 week DOCA/NaCl hypertensive rats and age-matched uninephrectomized control rats."3.67Enhanced depressor effect of muscimol in the DOCA/NaCl hypertensive rat: evidence for altered GABAergic activity in brain. ( Dawson, R; Nagahama, S; Oparil, S, 1985)
"Hypertension is a major risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases, leading to vascular dementia and neurodegeneration."1.40Antihypertensive and neuroprotective effects of catestatin in spontaneously hypertensive rats: interaction with GABAergic transmission in amygdala and brainstem. ( Alò, R; Avolio, E; Canonaco, M; Facciolo, RM; Mahata, SK; Mantuano, E; Mele, M; Talani, G, 2014)
"Baclofen (20 mg/kg) was neuroprotective (potency ratio of 3."1.30High dose baclofen is neuroprotective but also causes intracerebral hemorrhage: a quantal bioassay study using the intraluminal suture occlusion method. ( Jackson-Friedman, C; Jin, A; Lyden, PD; Nunez, S; Zweifler, R, 1997)
