Abstract
The carotid sinus baroreflex is one of the most important negative feedback systems to stabilize arterial pressure. Although static characteristics of the carotid sinus baroreflex can be assessed by using a stepwise input protocol under baroreflex open-loop conditions, the step duration has been determined empirically. In the present study, we examined the effects of different time windows (5-10, 15-20, 25-30, 35-40, 45-50, and 55-60 s) on the static characteristics estimated by using a 60-s stepwise input protocol in 10 anesthetized rats. Based on the results, we compared the static characteristics between actual 60-s and 20-s stepwise input protocols. Most of the parameters of the static characteristics did not differ significantly between the 60-s and 20-s stepwise input protocols, suggesting that the open-loop baroreflex static characteristics can be estimated by using a stepwise input with the step duration as short as 20 s in normal rats.
