ABSTRACT
This study investigated how baro- and chemoreceptor afferents interact with emetic signals from gastric afferents and the vestibular system, and how these interactions modulate emetic and prodromal responses. We performed splanchnic denervation and abdominal vagotomy in anesthetized shrews (Suncus murinus), and then induced emetic responses by gastric distension. Next, we investigated the effects of these gastric afferent sections on cardiovascular and emetic responses induced by electrical stimulation of the aortic depressor nerve (ADN) and the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) with or without gastric distension. Splanchnic denervation abolished the prodromal response before retching and aortic baroreflex inhibition caused by gastric distension, but had no effects on the emetic response. In contrast, abdominal vagotomy abolished the emetic response induced by gastric distension with or without CSN stimulation, but without affecting gastric distension-induced or CSN stimulation-induced vascular and respiratory responses. In conscious animals, CSN denervation significantly suppressed veratrine- and motion-induced emetic responses, whereas ADN denervation had no significant effects. These results suggest that aortic baroreflex inhibition via the activation of splanchnic afferents contributes to the prodromal response before retching and circulatory homeostasis. In contrast, carotid sinus inputs, which are usually non-emetic signals, interact with vagal and vestibular inputs, and modulate the development of retching and vomiting.
