Abstract

Baroreflex sensitivity was measured in baboons operantly conditioned to increase their diastolic blood pressure in daily, 12-hr sessions, by using the extent of increases in interpulse interval per unit of increase in systolic pressure after intravenous phenylephrine injection as an index of baroreflex sensitivity. Following training, baroreflex sensitivity increases averaging 32% were observed before and after the 12-hr conditioning sessions. During the conditioning sessions, however, consistent diastolic blood pressure elevations averaging 17% (14 mmHg) were accompanied by significant decreases in baroreflex sensitivity averaging 44% relative to the increased "before" and "after" sensitivity levels. The results suggest that changes in baroreflex sensitivity participate in operantly conditioned blood pressure changes.
