In order to analyse the effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on the cutaneous vascular response to sympathetic nerve stimulation during cooling, the isometric response of isolated 2-mm segments of the rabbit central ear (cutaneous) artery was recorded at 37 degrees C and during cooling (30 degrees C). Electrical field stimulation (4-16 Hz) at 37 degrees C produced a frequency-dependent contraction, which was reduced during cooling (45% for 16 Hz) and potentiated by NPY (10(-8), 3x10(-8) and 10(-7) M), this potentiation being greater at 30 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. The NPY-induced potentiation of the contraction elicited by electrical field stimulation (8 Hz) was abolished by an antagonist of Y1 subtype NPY receptors, BIBP3226 (10(-6) M), at 37 degrees C and 30 degrees C, reduced by phentolamine (10(-6) M) at 30 degrees C but not at 37 degrees C, was not modified by the purinoceptor antagonist PPADS (3x10(-5) M) and was reduced by application of both phentolamine and PPADS at both temperatures. Both NiCl2 (10(-3) M) and verapamil (10(-5) M) abolished the potentiating effect of NPY at 37 degrees C and reduced it at 30 degrees C. Neither application of an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, L-Nomega-nitro-arginine (L-NOARG, 10(-4) M), nor endothelium removal modified the potentiating effect of NPY at 37 degrees C or 30 degrees C. NPY (10(-8), 3x10(-8) and 10(-7) M) potentiated in a concentration-dependent way the arterial contraction in response to exogenous noradrenaline (10(-8)-10(-4) M) at 30 degrees C but not at 37 degrees C, and it increased the response to ATP (10(-4)-10(-2) M) at both temperatures. Therefore, in cutaneous (ear) arteries: (1) NPY potentiates the sympathetic response at 37 degrees C and at 30 degrees C, (2) this potentiating effect of NPY was more marked at 30 degrees C than at 37 degrees C, probably because of greater potentiation of the alpha-adrenoceptor response during cooling, and (3) the potentiating effect of NPY at both temperatures is mediated by NPY receptors of the Y1 subtype, is dependent of Ca2+ channels and is independent of the release of endothelial nitric oxide.
