PG - 495-8 AB - Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4:2.5, 5 and 10 mumol in 5 microliters) decreased blood pressure and heart rate in both anesthetized normotensive (WKY) and hypertensive rats (SHR). The effects were greater in WKY than in SHR. Moreover, a pretreatment with hexamethonium (2 mg/kg, i.v.) significantly blunted the hypotensive and bradycardic effects induced by i.c.v. injection of 10 mumol of MgSO4 in both WKY and SHR. Our data suggest that MgSO4 produces hypotensive and bradycardic effects when injected i.c.v. in both WKY and SHR.
