Angiotensin II-induced changes in cochlear blood flow and blood pressure in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Previous investigations in our laboratory have measured significant increases in the circulating levels of the potent vasoconstrictive hormone, angiotensin II (AII; 26 and 64 pg/100 microliters plasma, normal and noise exposed, respectively), during and following noise exposure in the alert rat (Wright et al., 1981). In the present study, these levels were approximated through intra-arterial in...
متن کاملThe role of IL-6 in the physiologic versus hypertensive blood pressure actions of angiotensin II
Angiotensin II (AngII) is a critical physiologic regulator of volume homeostasis and mean arterial pressure (MAP), yet it also is known to induce immune mechanisms that contribute to hypertension. This study determined the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the physiologic effect of AngII to maintain normal MAP during low-salt (LS) intake, and whether hypertension induced by plasma AngII concentra...
متن کاملAngiotensin II and renal medullary blood flow in Lyon rats.
The present study evaluated the acute effects of ANG II (5-480 ng/kg iv) and phenylephrine (PE; 0.2-146 microg/kg iv) on total renal (RBF) and medullary blood flow (MBF) in anesthetized Lyon hypertensive (LH) and low-blood-pressure (LL) rats. ANG II and PE induced dose-dependent decreases in both RBF and MBF, which were greater in LH than in LL rats. Interestingly, after ANG II, but not after P...
متن کاملInhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme modulates the autoregulation of regional cerebral blood flow in hypertensive rats.
The inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme activities is considered to favorably modulate the hemodynamics of the brain. We designed the present study to examine the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors on regional differences in the lower limits of cerebral blood flow autoregulation in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (either 10 mg/k...
متن کاملEffect of Angiotensin II on Blood Flow in Acute and Chronically Inflamed Knee Joints of Rabbits: The Role of Nitric Oxide
Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) upregulation in stromal cells of joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis may lead to higher tissue angiotensin II that is a vasoconstrictor and mitogen factor. To date, the role of angiotensin II on regulating blood flow in inflamed joints has not been studied. Methods: Acute and chronic joint inflammation was induced in rabbits by intra-articular...
