Abstract
We investigated the characteristics of arterial blood pressures and heart rate (HR) in bronchial-hypersensitive (BHS) and bronchial-hyposensitive (BHR) guinea pigs under conscious state. Arterial blood pressures (systolic blood pressure; SBP, mean blood pressure; MBP, diastolic blood pressure; DBP) were measured using a recently developed oscillometric device. The values of measurement parameters are as follows; BHS (HR: 253.5±5.1, SBP: 105.7±1.6, MBP: 75.1±1.9, DBP: 60.0±2.2) and BHR (HR: 253.7±4.2, SBP: 106.8±1.3, MBP: 72.7±1.6, DBP: 55.8±1.9). We could not observe any differences in arterial blood pressures and HR between these strains. These results suggest that airway hyperresponsiveness is not significantly affected on the cardiovascular functions under resting conditions.
