Impermeability of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier for angiotensin II in rats.

چکیده
1. Anaesthetized, nephrectomized rats were infused intravenously with unlabelled angiotensin II (AII) or with [3H]angiotensin II (3H-labelled AII). The brain ventricular system was perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid. The perfusate was collected from the cisterna magna and analysed for AII by radioimmunological and biochemical methods. 2. No increase of immunoreactive AII in cerebrospinal fluid could be shown during intravenous infusion of AII. 3. During intravenous infusions of 3H-labelled AII at pressor doses small amounts of radioactivity were found in cerebrospinal fluid perfusate. 4. The radioactivity of cerebrospinal fluid outflow could not be related to AII.

Effects of an orally active converting-enzyme inhibitor, SQ 14225, on pressor responses to angiotensin administered into the brain ventricles of spontaneously hypertensive rats.
1. Two hours after oral feeding of normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats with the converting-enzyme inhibitor SQ 14225 (1 and 10 mg/kg), an increase of angiotensin I plasma concentrations from 892 +/- 113 to 1660 +/- 167 and 2951 +/- 405 pg/ml was observed. 2. Administration of SQ 14225 with the drinking fluid overnight suppressed the pressor responses to intravenous angiotensin I, although the blood ...
متن کاملCandesartan Attenuates Ischemic Brain Edema and Protects the Blood–Brain Barrier Integrity from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Background: Angiotensin II (Ang II) has an important role on cerebral microcirculation however, its direct roles in terms of ischemic brain edema need to be clarified. This study evaluated the role of central Ang II by using candesartan, as an AT1 receptor blocker, in the brain edema formation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries in rat. Methods...
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...
متن کاملAT1 receptor antagonist telmisartan administered peripherally inhibits central responses to angiotensin II in conscious rats.
The effects of systemic treatment with the AT1 receptor antagonist telmisartan on central effects of angiotensin II (Ang II), namely, increase in blood pressure, vasopressin release into the circulation, and drinking response, were investigated in conscious, normotensive rats. The central responses to i.c.v. Ang II (30 ng/kg) were measured at 0.5, 2, 4, and 24 h following acute i.v. or acute an...
متن کاملDepressor effect of blocking angiotensin subtype 1 receptors in anterior hypothalamus.
Previous studies have shown that the anterior hypothalamic area participates in the centrally mediated pressor response to exogenous angiotensin II. The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that endogenous anterior hypothalamic angiotensin II plays a significant role in blood pressure control. Type 1 angiotensin II receptors in the anterior hypothalamic area were blocked by local m...
