[Functional decoupling of left ventricular beta-adrenoceptor in a canine model of obesity-hypertension].
Archives des Maladies du Coeur et des Vaisseaux 1998 August
OBJECTIVE: To assess cardiac beta-adrenoceptors (beta-AR) in an obesity-hypertension model.
METHODS: Six male beagle dogs (aged 35 +/- 5 months) receiving during 30 weeks a high-fat diet with 60% uncooked beef fat were compared to 6 normal beagle dogs. With right auricular and left ventricular samples we analysed cardiac beta-AR density through binding study using [125I]-cyanopindolol. beta 1 and beta 2 densities were obtained by competition with CGP 20712A. Affinity state of beta-AR was assessed by competition with isoproterenol. Noradrenaline plasma level was assayed by HPLC. Left ventricular mass (LV mass) was measured by echocardiography. Results are expressed as mean +/- SE. All comparisons were performed using a variance analysis (*: p < 0.05).
RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in obesses (245 +/- 8 vs 197 +/- 10 mmHg in controls). Diastolic blood pressure did not differed between both groups (93 +/- 3 vs 84 +/- 3 mmHg in controls). Noradrenaline plasma levels were similar in both groups (276 +/- 30 vs 235 +/- 50 pg/mL in controls). Obesses were characterized by higher LV mass (80 +/- 24 vs 67 +/- 15 g in controls*). Right auricular and left ventricular beta-AR densities were not different in obesses (57 +/- 6 and 67 +/- 4 fmoles/mg protein) and in controls (68 +/- 7 and 63 +/- 9 fmoles/mg protein). The beta 1-AR proportion was the same in obesses and controls in right auricule (63 +/- 4 vs 64 +/- 3% in controls) and left ventricule (59 +/- 3 vs 60 +/- 4% in controls). The proportion of beta-AR receptors in a high affinity state was similar in right auricular samples (69 +/- 4 vs 67 +/- 3%) in controls) but was significantly different in left ventricule (28 +/- 6 vs 74 +/- 6%) in controls).
CONCLUSION: Left ventricular beta-adrenoceptors came under a specific desensibilisation independent of plasma noradrenaline levels. This functional decoupling of beta-adrenoceptors may account for the progressive systolic dysfunction of hypertensive cardiomyopathy.
