Resumen
Consumption of ergot alkaloids during the second half of gestation has been shown to decrease umbilical artery vasoactivity resulting in decreased birth weights. Negative vascular effects of ergot alkaloids are mediated predominantly through serotonergic and adrenergic receptors in other tissues. Vasoactivity of serotonin (5-HT) receptors 5-HT2A and 5-HT1B/1D in umbilical artery and vein from ewes receiving endophyte-infected seed (E + 1.77 mg ergovaline/hd/d) or a control total mixed ration (CON; 0 mg ergovaline/hd/d) tall fescue seed at d-110 and d-133 of gestation was evaluated. Gravid reproduction tracts were collected from ewes. Two-mm sections of umbilical artery and vein were exposed to increasing concentrations of a 5-HT1B/1D agonist and 5-HT2A agonist. The 5-HT1B/1D agonist did not stimulate a contractile response in artery or vein or either gestation time point. 5-HT2A agonist caused large responses in artery with greatest occurring at d-110 and decreasing in magnitude as days of gestation increased (p < 0.05). On d-110 and 133 of gestation, arteries from CON ewes had greater contractile response than arteries collected from E+ ewes (p < 0.05). Veins responded to increasing concentrations of the 5-HT2A agonist. Maximal d-110 vein response was greater than d-133 when exposed to 5-HT2A agonist (p < 0.05). Unlike the artery, veins from E+ ewes had greater d-133 contractile response than CON (p < 0.05). Vascular contractions of umbilical artery and vein are induced by 5-HT2A receptor activity and not 5-HT1B/1D. Umbilical artery 5-HT2A receptor activity was more sensitive to seed treatment and could be responsible for ergot alkaloid-induced intra-uterine growth restriction.
