Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of sufentanil on norepinephrine (NE)-induced contraction of thoracic aorta isolated from rats with spontaneous hypertension (SH) .Methods Eight male rats with SH weighing 250-300 g were used in this study. The rats were decapitated and their thoracic aortas were isolated and cut into rings 2-3 mm in length. The aorta rings were suspended for isometric tension recording. The aortic rings obtained from SH rats were divided into 4 groups ( n = 8 each) : control group and 3 sufentanil groups. The contraction of aortic rings in response to NE in the absence (control) and presence of 3 concentrations of sufentanil 7 × 10-11 ,2 × 10-10 and 1 × 10-9 mol/L was recorded. Results The amplitude of NE-induced contraction of thoracic aorta was significantly greater in 3 sufentanil groups than in control group. Sufentanil significantly inhibited the NE-induced aortic contration in proportion to concentration. Conclusion Sufentanil can inhibit NE-induced contraction of thoracic aorta isolated from rats with SH in a concentration-dependent manner.
