Different blood pressure responses to opioids in 3 rat hypertension models: role of the baseline status of sympathetic and renin–angiotensin systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Opioids interact with sympathetic and renin–angiotensin systems in control of mean arterial pressure (MAP). Our earlier finding that biphalin, a synthetic enkephalin analogue, decreased MAP in anaesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) prompted us to further explore this action, to get new insights into pathogenesis of various forms of hypertension. Biphalin effects were studied in SHR, uninephrectomized rats on a high-salt diet (HS/UNX), and rats with angiotensin-induced hypertension (Ang-iH). Besides MAP, renal and iliac blood flows (RBF, IBF) and vascular resistances were measured. In anaesthetized and conscious SHR, biphalin (300 μg·h −1 ·kg −1 i.v.) decreased MAP by ∼10 and ∼20 mm Hg, respectively (P < 0.001). In anaesthetized HS/UNX and normotensive rats, MAP increased by ∼6–7 mm Hg (P < 0.02); without anaesthesia, only transient decreases occurred. MAP never changed in Ang-iH rats. Morphine (1.5 mg·h −1 ·kg −1 i.v.) decreased MAP in HS/UNX but only transiently so without anaesthesia; such anaesthesia dependence of response was also seen in normotensive rats. Ang-iH rats never responded to morphine. Hypotensive effect in SHR only depends primarily on the reduction by biphalin of vascular responsiveness to increased sympathetic stimulation; such increase is well documented for SHR. No MAP response to biphalin or morphine in Ang-iH could depend on angiotensin-induced alterations of the vascular wall morphology and function.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
