A study of angiotensin II pressor response throughout primigravid pregnancy.
The present study was designed to ascertain sequentially the pressor response to angiotensin II in young primigravid patients throughout pregnancy in order a) to define when in pregnancy resistance to the pressor effects of angiotensin II develops; b) to define the physiologic sequence of events leading to this resistance; and c) to ascertain whether sensitivity to infused angiotensin II could ...
متن کاملConversion of brain angiotensin II to angiotensin III is critical for pressor response in rats.
The present investigation measured the relative pressor potencies of intracerebroventricularly infused ANG II, ANG III, and the metabolically resistant analogs d-Asp(1)ANG II and d-Arg(1)ANG III in alert freely moving rats. The stability of these analogs was further facilitated by pretreatment with the specific aminopeptidase A inhibitor EC33 or the aminopeptidase N inhibitor PC18. The results ...
متن کاملA mouse model of angiotensin II slow pressor response: role of oxidative stress.
ABSTRACT. The slow pressor response to prolonged infusions of angiotensin II (AngII) entails a delayed rise in BP. This study investigated the hypothesis that the response depends on the generation of oxidative stress. The BP and renal functional response of mice to graded doses (200, 400, and 1000 ng. kg(-1). min(-1)) of subcutaneously infused AngII was studied. The SBP of conscious mice incre...
متن کاملThe immediate pressor response to saralasin in man: a test of angiotensin II receptor vacancy.
Saralasin, 10 microgram/kg per min, caused an immediate rise in blood pressure in 52 of 57 (91.2%) hypertensive patients. The increase in diastolic pressure averaged 18.8 +/- 1.83 mm Hg (mean +/- SE) in normal renin patients on a normal salt intake. This immediate pressor response was absent in only five high renin patients and, conversely, was very large in three low renin patients. Direct art...
متن کاملRole of superoxide anion in regulating pressor and vascular hypertrophic response to angiotensin II.
Our purpose was to address the role of NAPDH oxidase-derived superoxide anion in the vascular response to ANG II. Blood pressure, aortic superoxide anion, 3-nitrotyrosine, and medial cross-sectional area were compared in wild-type mice and in mice that overexpress human superoxide dismutase (hSOD). The pressor response to ANG II was significantly less in hSOD mice. Superoxide anion levels were ...
