Abstract: Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induces systemic (hypertension) and central (mitochondrial dysfunction underlying cognitive deficits). We hypothesized that agonists of oestradiol receptors (ER) Ξ± and Ξ² prevent CIH-induced hypertension and brain mitochondrial dysfunction.

Ovariectomized female rats were implanted with osmotic pumps delivering vehicle (Veh), the ERΞ± agonist propylpyraoletriol (PPT - 30ΞΌg/kg/day) or the ERΞ² agonist diarylpropionitril (DPN - 100ΞΌg/kg/day). Animals were exposed to CIH (21-10% FIO2 - 10 cycles/hour - 8 hours/day - 7 days) or normoxia. Arterial blood pressure was measured after CIH or normoxia exposures. Mitochondrial respiration and H2O2 production were measured in brain cortex with high-resolution respirometry, as well as activity of complex I and IV of the electron transport chain, citrate synthase, pyruvate and lactate dehydrogenase (PDH and LDH).

PPT but not DPN prevented the rise of arterial pressure induced by CIH. CIH exposures decreased O2 consumption, complex I activity, and increased H2O2 production. CIH had no effect on citrate synthase activity, but decreased PDH activity and increased LDH activity indicating higher anaerobic glycolysis. PPT and DPN treatments prevented all these alterations.

We conclude that in OVX female rats, the ERΞ± agonist prevents from CIH-induced hypertension while both ERΞ± and ERΞ² agonists prevent the brain mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic switch induced by CIH. These findings may have implications for menopausal women suffering of sleep apnoea regarding hormonal therapy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
