Application of 0.2-0.3 ml of 1 M ammonium chloride, 100 mM citric acid, 100 mM hydrochloric acid, 1% potassium chloride, 1% ammonium oxalate, 1% oxalic acid, 0.5% sodium hydroxide, 200 micrograms% bradykinin or 20 mg% capsaicin to gastrointestinal serosa produced a fall in blood pressure and inhibition of respiration in hypertensive as well as normotensive rats. In 6 (8%) of the animals studied, a fall in heart rate was also seen which was blocked by atropine. The blood pressure changes were independent of changes in heart rate. After acute abdominal vagotomy, while the respiratory inhibition following chemical application on gut serosa was enhanced, the cardiovascular responses were the same as before. In animals subjected to sympathetic denervation by spinal section at T5, celiac ganglionectomy or splanchnicotomy, a similar application produced an augmented respiratory response while the cardiovascular parameters were unaffected. These results show that the above inhibitions were mediated through the sympathetic afferents and a minor stimulation of respiration, via vagal afferents. The efferent pathway for the cardiac changes seems to be via vagus and the vascular changes via the sympathetics. In chronic vagotomized animals, the same stimulation produced a response similar to that seen in animals with intact vagus. An adaptive response may be operating in chronic animals reverting the status back to normal.
