Abstract
Extracellular fluids, including blood, lymphatic fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid, are collectively called body fluids. The Na+ concentration ([Na+]) in body fluids is maintained at 135-145 mM and is broadly conserved among terrestrial animals. Homeostatic osmoregulation by Na+ is vital for life because severe hyper- or hypotonicity elicits irreversible organ damage and lethal neurological trauma. To achieve "body fluid homeostasis" or "Na homeostasis", the brain continuously monitors [Na+] in body fluids and controls water/salt intake and water/salt excretion by the kidneys. These physiological functions are primarily regulated based on information on [Na+] and relevant circulating hormones, such as angiotensin II, aldosterone, and vasopressin. In this review, we discuss sensing mechanisms for [Na+] and hormones in the brain that control water/salt intake behaviors, together with the responsible sensors (receptors) and relevant neural pathways. We also describe mechanisms in the brain by which [Na+] increases in body fluids activate the sympathetic neural activity leading to hypertension.

Abstract
Injection of muscimol, a GABAA receptor agonist, into the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) induces 0.3 M NaCl intake in rats. In the present work, we investigated whether such an effect applies to hypertonic (0.3 M) mineral solutions in general or is selective to sodium solutions in a 240 min intake test. Muscimol injection (0.5 nmol/0.2 μL) compared to vehicle injection into the LPBN of adult hydrated rats produced a preferential ingestion of 0.3 M NaCl (25.3 ± 10.2 mL) followed by a 0.3 M NaHCO3 intake (11.7 ± 5.6 mL), with no significant effect on water, KCl and CaCl2 intake. Only the effect of muscimol on NaCl intake (19.0 ± 10.4 mL) persisted in cell-dehydrated rats, with hardly any effect on water or other mineral solutions. The results suggest that the LPBN controls the ingestion of hypertonic NaCl and NaHCO3. They also suggest a selective mechanisms involving the LPBN to check hypertonic sodium intake.

Abstract
Central cholinergic activation stimulates water intake, but also NaCl intake when the inhibitory mechanisms are blocked with injections of moxonidine (α2 adrenergic/imidazoline agonist) into the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN). In the present study, we investigated the involvement of central M1 and M2 muscarinic receptors on NaCl intake induced by pilocarpine (non-selective muscarinic agonist) intraperitoneally combined with moxonidine into the LPBN or by muscimol (GABAA agonist) into the LPBN. Male Holtzman rats with stainless steel cannulas implanted bilaterally in the LPBN and in the lateral ventricle were used. Pirenzepine (M1 muscarinic antagonist, 1 nmol/1 μl) or methoctramine (M2 muscarinic antagonist, 50 nmol/1 μL) injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) reduced 0.3 M NaCl and water intake in rats treated with pilocarpine (0.1 mg/100 g of body weight) injected intraperitoneally combined with moxonidine (0.5 nmol/0.2 μL) into the LPBN. In rats treated with muscimol (0.5 nmol/0.2 μL) into the LPBN, methoctramine i.c.v. also reduced 0.3 M NaCl and water intake, however, pirenzepine produced no effect. The results suggest that M1 and M2 muscarinic receptors activate central pathways involved in the control of water and sodium intake that are under the influence of the LPBN inhibitory mechanisms.

Abstract
The administration of cholinergic agonists like pilocarpine intraperitoneally (i.p.) or carbachol intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) induces water, but non significant hypertonic NaCl intake. These treatments also produce pressor responses, which may inhibit sodium intake. Noradrenaline (NOR) acting on α2-adrenoceptors in the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) deactivates inhibitory mechanisms increasing fluid depletion-induced sodium intake. In the present study, we investigated: (1) water and 1.8% NaCl intake in rats treated with pilocarpine i.p. or carbachol i.c.v. combined with NOR into the LPBN; (2) if inhibitory signals from cardiovascular receptors are blocked by NOR in the LPBN. Male Holtzman rats with stainless steel guide-cannulas implanted in the lateral ventricle and bilaterally in the LPBN were used. Bilateral injections of NOR (80nmol/0.2μl) into the LPBN decreased water intake (0.8±0.3, vs. saline (SAL): 2.9±0.3ml/180min) induced by pilocarpine (1mg/kg of body weight) i.p., without changing 1.8% NaCl intake (0.8±2.4, vs. SAL: 0.5±0.3ml/180min). Prazosin (1mg/kg of body weight) i.p. blocked pressor responses and increased water and 1.8% NaCl intake (6.3±1.7 and 14.7±3.5ml/180min, respectively) in rats treated with pilocarpine combined with NOR into the LPBN. Prazosin i.p. also increased 1.8% NaCl intake in rats treated with carbachol i.c.v combined with NOR into the LPBN. The results suggest that different signals inhibit sodium intake in rats treated with cholinergic agonists, among them those produced by increases of arterial pressure that are not efficiently deactivated by NOR acting in the LPBN.

Abstract
Central α2-adrenoceptors and the pontine lateral parabrachial nucleus
(LPBN) are involved in the control of sodium and water intake. Bilateral injections
of moxonidine (α2-adrenergic/imidazoline receptor agonist) or
noradrenaline into the LPBN strongly increases 0.3 M NaCl intake induced by a
combined treatment of furosemide plus captopril. Injection of moxonidine into the
LPBN also increases hypertonic NaCl and water intake and reduces oxytocin secretion,
urinary sodium, and water excreted by cell-dehydrated rats, causing a positive sodium
and water balance, which suggests that moxonidine injected into the LPBN deactivates
mechanisms that restrain body fluid volume expansion. Pretreatment with specific
α2-adrenoceptor antagonists injected into the LPBN abolishes the
behavioral and renal effects of moxonidine or noradrenaline injected into the same
area, suggesting that these effects depend on activation of LPBN
α2-adrenoceptors. In fluid-depleted rats, the palatability of sodium is
reduced by ingestion of hypertonic NaCl, limiting intake. However, in rats treated
with moxonidine injected into the LPBN, the NaCl palatability remains high, even
after ingestion of significant amounts of 0.3 M NaCl. The changes in behavioral and
renal responses produced by activation of α2-adrenoceptors in the LPBN are
probably a consequence of reduction of oxytocin secretion and blockade of inhibitory
signals that affect sodium palatability. In this review, a model is proposed to show
how activation of α2-adrenoceptors in the LPBN may affect palatability
and, consequently, ingestion of sodium as well as renal sodium excretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of GABA(B) receptors with baclofen into the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) induces ingestion of water and 0.3 M NaCl in fluid replete rats. However, up to now, no study has investigated the effects of baclofen injected alone or combined with GABA(B) receptor antagonist into the LPBN on water and 0.3 M NaCl intake in rats with increased plasma osmolarity (rats treated with an intragastric load of 2 M NaCl). Male Wistar rats with stainless steel cannulas implanted bilaterally into the LPBN were used. RESULTS In fluid replete rats, baclofen (0.5 nmol/0.2 μl), bilaterally injected into the LPBN, induced ingestion of 0.3 M NaCl (14.3 ± 4.1 vs. saline: 0.2 ± 0.2 ml/210 min) and water (7.1 ± 2.9 vs. saline: 0.6 ± 0.5 ml/210 min). In cell-dehydrated rats, bilateral injections of baclofen (0.5 and 1.0 nmol/0.2 μl) into the LPBN induced an increase of 0.3 M NaCl intake (15.6 ± 5.7 and 21.5 ± 3.5 ml/210 min, respectively, vs. saline: 1.7 ± 0.8 ml/210 min) and an early inhibition of water intake (3.5 ± 1.4 and 6.7 ± 2.1 ml/150 min, respectively, vs. saline: 9.2 ± 1.4 ml/150 min). The pretreatment of the LPBN with 2-hydroxysaclofen (GABA(B) antagonist, 5 nmol/0.2 μl) potentiated the effect of baclofen on 0.3 M NaCl intake in the first 90 min of test and did not modify the inhibition of water intake induced by baclofen in cell-dehydrated rats. Baclofen injected into the LPBN did not affect blood pressure and heart rate. CONCLUSIONS Thus, injection of baclofen into the LPBN in cell-dehydrated rats induced ingestion of 0.3 M NaCl and inhibition of water intake, suggesting that even in a hyperosmotic situation, the blockade of LPBN inhibitory mechanisms with baclofen is enough to drive rats to drink hypertonic NaCl, an effect independent of changes in blood pressure.

Abstract
Purinergic receptors are present in the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN), a pontine structure involved in the control of sodium intake. In the present study, we investigated the effects of α,β-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate (α,β-methylene ATP, selective P2X purinergic agonist) alone or combined with pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS, P2X purinergic antagonist) or suramin (non-selective P2 purinergic antagonist) injected into the LPBN on sodium depletion-induced 1.8% NaCl intake. Male Holtzman rats with stainless steel cannulas implanted into the LPBN were used. Sodium depletion was induced by treating rats with the diuretic furosemide (20mg/kg of body weight) followed by 24h of sodium-deficient diet. Bilateral injections of α,β-methylene ATP (2.0 and 4.0nmol/0.2μl) into the LPBN increased sodium depletion-induced 1.8% NaCl intake (25.3±0.8 and 26.5±0.9ml/120min, respectively, vs. saline: 15.2±1.3ml/120min). PPADS (4nmol/0.2μl) alone into the LPBN did not change 1.8% NaCl intake, however, pretreatment with PPADS into the LPBN abolished the effects of α,β-methylene ATP on 1.8% NaCl intake (16.9±0.9ml/120min). Suramin (2.0nmol/0.2μl) alone into the LPBN reduced sodium depletion-induced 1.8% NaCl intake (5.7±1.9ml/120min, vs. saline: 15.5±1.1ml/120min), without changing 2% sucrose intake or 24h water deprivation-induced water intake. The combination of suramin and α,β-methylene ATP into the LPBN produced no change of 1.8% NaCl intake (15.2±1.2ml/120min). The results suggest that purinergic P2 receptor activation in the LPBN facilitates NaCl intake, probably by restraining LPBN mechanisms that inhibit sodium intake.

Abstract
Salt intake is an established response to sodium deficiency, but the brain circuits that regulate this behavior remain poorly understood. We studied the activation of neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and their efferent target nuclei in the pontine parabrachial complex (PB) in rats during sodium deprivation and after salt intake. After 8-day dietary sodium deprivation, immunoreactivity for c-Fos (a neuronal activity marker) increased markedly within the aldosterone-sensitive neurons of the NTS, which express the enzyme 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD2). In the PB, c-Fos labeling increased specifically within two sites that relay signals from the HSD2 neurons to the forebrain--the pre-locus coeruleus and the innermost region of the external lateral parabrachial nucleus. Then, 1-2 hours after sodium-deprived rats ingested salt (a hypertonic 3% solution of NaCl), c-Fos immunoreactivity within the HSD2 neurons was virtually eliminated, despite a large increase in c-Fos activation in the surrounding NTS (including the A2 noradrenergic neurons) and area postrema. Also after salt intake, c-Fos activation increased within pontine nuclei that relay gustatory (caudal medial PB) and viscerosensory (rostral lateral PB) information from the NTS to the forebrain. Thus, sodium deficiency and salt intake stimulate separate subpopulations of neurons in the NTS, which then transmit this information to the forebrain via largely separate relay nuclei in the PB complex. These findings offer new perspectives on the roles of sensory information from the brainstem in the regulation of sodium appetite.

Abstract
In the present study we compared the effects produced by moxonidine (alpha2-adrenoceptor/imidazoline agonist) injected into the 4th cerebral ventricle and into the lateral cerebral ventricle on mean arterial pressure, heart rate and on renal, mesenteric and hindquarter vascular resistances, as well as the possible action of moxonidine on central alpha1- or alpha2-adrenoceptors to produce cardiovascular responses. Male Holtzman rats (n=7-8) anesthetized with urethane (0.5 g/kg, intravenously-i.v.) and alpha-chloralose (60 mg/kg, i.v.) were used. Moxonidine (5, 10 and 20 nmol) injected into the 4th ventricle reduced arterial pressure (-19+/-5, -30+/-7 and -43+/-8 mmHg vs. vehicle: 2+/-4 mmHg), heart rate (-10+/-6, -16+/-7 and -27+/-9 beats per minute-bpm, vs. vehicle: 4+/-5 bpm), and renal, mesenteric and hindquarter vascular resistances. Moxonidine (5, 10 and 20 nmol) into the lateral ventricle only reduced renal vascular resistance (-77+/-17%, -85+/-13%, -89+/-10% vs. vehicle: 3+/-4%), without changes on arterial pressure, heart rate and mesenteric and hindquarter vascular resistances. Pre-treatment with the selective alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine (80, 160 and 320 nmol) injected into the 4th ventricle attenuated the hypotension (-32+/-5, -25+/-4 and -12+/-6 mmHg), bradycardia (-26+/-11, -23+/-5 and -11+/-6 bpm) and the reduction in renal, mesenteric and hindquarter vascular resistances produced by moxonidine (20 nmol) into the 4th ventricle. Pre-treatment with yohimbine (320 nmol) into the lateral ventricle did not change the renal vasodilation produced by moxonidine (20 nmol) into the lateral ventricle. The alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (320 nmol) injected into the 4th ventricle did not affect the cardiovascular effects of moxonidine. However, prazosin (80, 160 and 320 nmol) into the lateral ventricle abolished the renal vasodilation (-17+/-4, -6+/-9 and 2+/-11%) produced by moxonidine. The results indicate that the decrease in renal vascular resistance due to moxonidine action in the forebrain is mediated by alpha1-adrenoceptors, while the cardiovascular effects produced by moxonidine acting in the brainstem depend at least partially on the activation of alpha2-adrenoceptors.
